Zambia 'ripe' for next level of logistics

Zambia is “ripe to get to the
next level of logistics,” says
Andrew Sinyangwe Jr, Walvis
Bay Corridor Group business
development manager for
Zambia.
Freight volumes in and out
of the country are rising, and
the mix is changing due to a
revival of agriculture and the
emergence of a middle class
hungry for consumer goods.
Trade patterns are also
constantly shifting, which
means that shippers and their
service providers need to be
constantly re-evaluating the
routes they are using.
“We need to have the right
mix of road, rail and air. There
have been mishaps, but we are
learning from our mistakes,”
he says.
Many years of consistent
marketing are clearly
beginning to pay dividends.
