The country's logistics industry is poised for a significant transformation following the unveiling of a new five-year strategic plan by the Kenya International Freight and Warehousing Association (KIFWA).
The five-year plan, which aligns with Kenya's 2030 development vision, aims to digitize key services and inject eco-conscious practices into the customs, freight forwarding, and warehousing sectors.
As of 2024, the sector was valued at approximately Ksh1.47 trillion, contributing around 9 per cent to Kenya's Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
It facilitated the movement of more than 35 million tons of goods annually; however, clearing agents say they've felt disconnected from the actual growth reflected in cargo volumes reported by the Kenya Ports Authority.
