Exporting food is profitable — but not without obstacles. Here are the top 5 logistics challenges that exporters face, and how to overcome them.
1. Cold Chain Integrity
Fresh and frozen items need constant temperature control.
📌 Solution: Use certified cold chain providers and GPS tracking.
2. Port Delays & Congestion
African and Asian ports can experience major delays.
📌 Solution: Schedule off-peak, work with local clearing agents.
3. Customs Complications
Changing laws, missing documents, or unclear tariffs.
📌 Solution: Always stay updated and use local customs experts.
4. Product Damage or Spoilage
Improper packaging leads to broken seals or mold.
📌 Solution: Use food-grade packaging and pallet systems.
5. Poor Infrastructure in Destination Markets
Rural transport can be a challenge.
📌 Solution: Partner with distributors who know the terrain.
