Kenya Airfreight Handling Limited (KAHL) has signed a partnership deal with Lift Cargo Limited to revolutionise the global distribution of perishable goods and ensure that fresh produce reaches consumers in optimal condition.
Speaking in Nairobi, KAHL Acting General Manager Peter Musola said, “The partnership will leverage KAHL’s state-of-the-art cool chain facilities alongside Lift Cargo’s extensive client base. Together, we will create a seamless cool chain that minimises spoilage, reduces waste, and enhances the overall quality of perishable goods, elevating product freshness for our customers.”
The horticulture sector is one of the largest contributors to Kenya’s economy, generating approximately Sh157 billion (US$1.29 billion) in annual export earnings, according to the Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA). Flowers alone account for more than 70 per cent of these exports, with Europe serving as the primary market.
“Kenya’s horticultural sector is one of the most vital components of our economy, and we are committed to supporting it through innovative logistics solutions,” added Musola.
“We are thrilled to partner with KAHL. This partnership with KAHL will not only improve the efficiency of our supply chain but also empower local growers by providing them with better access to markets and enhanced value for their products,” said Lift Cargo Limited Managing Director Silas Kashindi.
Both companies are deeply committed to continuous improvement and innovation in the perishable goods supply chain. This commitment ensures that consumers receive the freshest products possible and paves the way for exciting advancements in the industry. This milestone reflects KAHL’s vision to be East Africa’s leading fresh cargo handling facility, continuing to deliver world-class service with speed, traceability, and care.
