Our Footprint in Zambia
Agriculture Logistics Services in Zambia.
Unitrans Zambia is an exciting new team focussed on the Agriculture Sector. It provides Land Preparation services, in Mazabuka Zambia and has been ongoing for several years. It performs all types of operations ranging from primary tillage to GPS land forming.
Unitrans Zambia delivers tailored end-to-end agricultural solutions by:
- Bringing innovation and implementing mechanisation to key farming activities;
- Delivering state of the art tailored solutions to solve production issues unique to each operation;
- Introducing precision agriculture, artificial intelligence, business analytics and informative-reporting to drive efficiencies and to deliver real-time decision making;
- Providing access to the largest Africa team of passionate, dedicated and experienced individuals to work with your business and to achieve your goals.
Unitrans Zambia also provides Cane Loading and Haulage services on the Nakambala Sugar Estate and surrounding farms. We promote efficient agricultural fleet management strategies such as minimising the harvest-to-milling window for optimal crop freshness, whilst taking care to avoid destructive levels of infield compaction through carefully engineered fleeting. The minimising of mill and factory stops, along with consistent deliveries, are key aspects of our successful agricultural logistics operations. Unitrans Zambia has signed a long-term sugar cane haulage contract with Zambia Sugar and has deployed the latest technology assets that maximize payloads, increase efficiencies and reduce operating costs.
Unitrans Zambia’s operations have been ongoing since 2015 when it entered the Zambia Petrochemical and Fuel Transportation and Logistics sector in line with the services it offers in neighbouring SADC countries. The Unitrans Zambia Logistic office managed the import and distribution of fuel to its customers by implementing the highest SHEQ (Safety Health Environment and Quality) standards, putting the supply chain services apart from its competition. During this time Unitrans Zambia’s fleet moved over 1 million litres of fuel to various operations in Zambia.
Ensuring quality service
In light of legislative and operational considerations, Unitrans Zambia gradually unbundled its fuel service offering and expanded into other growth opportunities. During 2017 Unitrans Zambia expanded its services footprint to include bespoke Agricultural Land Preparation Services at the Nakambala Estate. This operation has gradually grown to include additional Agricultural Logistic Services, operations which commenced during 2020. In line with the overall Unitrans’ Group Services, Unitrans Zambia looks to expand its services to the Bulk Handling and Mining Operations.
