The second edition of Flower Logistics Africa (FLA) and the inaugural edition of Perishable Logistics Africa (PLA) conferences are just a month away. Scheduled for the 22nd and 23rd of November at the Radisson Blue Hotel in Nairobi, the events, organized by Logistics Update Africa, have received support from the industry stakeholders within Africa and outside.
While FLA focuses on “Enhancing Africa’s flower power through better logistics”, PLA is centered around the theme of “Perishables: Creating Africa’s Future Logistics Grid”.
The two conferences are aimed to open dialogue and facilitate sharing of ideas, knowledge and practical solutions to improve logistics and supply chain performance of key perishable commodities exported from African countries. The two-day event, covering both flower and other cargo commodities like fruits, vegetable and meat, seeks to develop modern and cost efficient logistics and supply chain infrastructure within the African continent. FLA and PLA will bring under one roof global and regional providers of cold chain logistics, transport services and infrastructure, and will meet with Africa’s flower and perishable producers and shippers.
