Agriculture Fast Moving Consumer Goods
Our FMCG unit serves the industries that are involved in the production of foods and beverages for the consumer and caters for the entire supply chain.
We convey produce and goods throughout the Southern African region, for the local and export markets. Cost-effective freight logistics solutions enable producers to bring their commodities competitively to market.
Commodities
The commodities that we handle include:
- Sugar,
- Beer,
- Malt and barley,
- Fruit and
- Wine and spirits.
Our Service
Raw commodities are conveyed from rural areas to ports for export or to processing plants in industrial regions. Processed foods are distributed nation-wide, or sent to the various harbours for export. We develop integrated freight logistics solutions, balancing the inventory flow throughout the system. Value may be added through extending the inventory into the mobile pipeline, rather than limiting it to static storage.
Essentially demand driven, we offer a number of logistics advantages to our customers:
- The capacity to move large volumes of bulk products, using a fleet of customised wagons, pallet-friendly container wagons and special tankers.
- A flexibility to deliver according to the customers' demands, on time.
- The safety and security of the cargo conveyed.
- The excellent condition in which the cargo is delivered, enabling direct-to-shelf distribution.
These advantages are enhanced by a commitment to door-to-door deliveries via Transnet Freight Rail's intermodal capabilities.
Facilities
Insulated containers, variants of reefer cargo containers and on-line generators to power-up refrigerated containers are used for temperature-sensitive cargo.
Customised wagons, pallet-friendly container wagons, such as the O series and special tankers are also used for conveying bulk products.
