With all their expertise in the management of fragile commodities, Bolloré Logistics Malawi's teams were able to offer a complete logistics offer to Eastern Produce Malawi, from the reception of the commodities in Blantyre to their transfer to the port of Beira, Mozambique and Durban, South Africa; to regional markets and private sales within Malawi.

More than 19,000 tonnes of tea for export from the southern region of Malawi was entrusted to Bolloré Logistics Malawi's teams.

31 Bolloré Logistics Malawi employees, specialized in the storage and transfer of tea, were involved in Eastern Produce's 2016 crop year.

These warehouses, secured by a 24-hour alarm and video surveillance system, are equipped with a WMS for optimal management of tea stocks destined for export. A number of value-added logistics services, including batch preparation, labeling service, palletizing and packing on a dedicated platform with a capacity of 30 truckloads per week, was also provided by the Bolloré Logistics Malawi's teams.
