Perishable cargo operates on a completely different timeline to everything else we handle. The moment fresh flowers, fresh fish, fresh fruit, or any other perishable consignment arrives at our facility, we treat it as a priority, because every hour it sits waiting is an hour off its shelf life at the other end.
We’ve been handling perishables through Entebbe long enough to know that speed and coordination are everything. The fastest acceptance process, the quickest build-up, the first available departure, these are the things that make the difference between a consignment that arrives in perfect condition and one that’s lost its value by the time it lands.
Uganda exports some genuinely world-class perishables, fresh fish from Lake Victoria, high-quality horticultural products, fresh-cut flowers that compete in European markets. We understand the commercial value of these exports and the damage that a missed flight or a slow handling process can do to an exporter’s reputation and bottom line.
When you bring a perishable consignment to us, it goes straight to the front of the queue. We don’t let it sit. We check the documentation, confirm the cold chain requirements, assign the right ULD, and get it built up and handed over to Lufthansa Cargo as fast as our process allows. We also stay in close communication with the airline to make sure it gets priority loading.
If you export perishables regularly through Entebbe, talk to us about setting up a standing arrangement. We can streamline the process so that your regular shipments move through our facility as efficiently as possible, every time.
