In Africa, the cost of transporting goods is considerably higher, estimated to be two to three times more than in industrialized nations, with transportation expenses accounting for up to half of the total cost. Kenya’s position as a pivotal trading hub in East Africa will experience significant advancement through the implementation of modern warehouses. Improved logistics infrastructure will enable Kenyan businesses to enhance operational efficiencies and product security, playing a crucial role in Africa’s overall progress.
