TAHA Fresh Handling Ltd is Tanzania’s sole farmer-owned logistic company. Currently, it is fine-tuning its business plan to spearhead establishment of a number of state-of-the-art fresh produce terminals in the key inland, airport and ports in Tanzania. The goal is to cater for export of perishable products from within and the six land linked countries.
TAHA Fresh board Chairperson, Dr Jacqueline Mkindi: “These ultra-modern facilities will be serving as the strategic consolidation centres for perishable cargo from Tanzania and neighbouring countries. Apart from commercial interest, our foray into fresh produce terminal business is to position the country as a real regional gateway to Africa and global markets.”
Dr Mkindi said that as demand for perishable commodities continues to skyrocket around the world, the customized, competitive and efficient logistics services become more imperative to deliver perishable goods to retailers’ shelves quickly, and in the best possible condition.
Dr Mkindi said that the whole idea of venturing into fresh produce terminal, among other interests, is to complement the President Dr Samia Suluhu Hassan’s painstaking efforts to position Tanzania ahead of time in terms of effective logistic services.
