This food services company supplies fresh fruit and vegetables, frozen french fries and vegetables, processed vegetables, and dry goods to hotels, camps & lodges, retailers and fast-food chains throughout Zambia. Services include the supply of both wholesale and custom-packaged orders of the approximately 170 different products for clients. The delivery cold chain is maintained by their own fleet or third-party refrigerated transport options.
Opportunity:
Entry to the politically and socially stable Zambian national market, an
investment-friendly destination with increasing urbanisation, forecasting significant growth in the food services industry.
Expand facilities to increase market share by storing larger volumes, renting out cold storage units, and expanding the refrigerated fleet size. The fully-functional processing facility was built at double the existing required capacity to enable expansion without further capital.
Develop a regional distribution centre for bulk South African imports into Zambia and exporting to neighbouring countries, through a managed distribution hub.
Penetrate deeper into the existing client base through broad-based supply of catering services, especially into remote areas where there is very limited supply currently.
