Twiga Foods, Isuzu East Africa and NCBA Bank on 5th October 2022 – through a strategic partnership – flagged off 15 commercial trucks to boost affordability and safe delivery of fresh produce to retailers across the region.
The project dubbed Logistics Market Place will see up to 300 trucks being released into the market in phases.
Twiga’s distribution network is one of the keys to keeping the agri-food system functioning and we rely heavily on the trucking and transportation industry to make that happen. The trucking and transportation system is entrenched in the strength, safety, and viability of our entire food value chain
The Logistics Market Place seeks to optimize logistics operations and develop a competitive edge in last-mile distribution. The marketplace is focused on creating a self-sustainable ecosystem of solutions highlighting efficiency, growth, and sustainability.
The new product offers the general public and opportunity to purchase the latest model of Isuzu NRM 85 trucks with a bold new design that offers the highest load carrying capacity, largest deck length and longest range to transverse maximum distance. This is achievable through asset financing provided by NCBA and upon purchase, Twiga will register suppliers, assign vehicles & drivers to routes and monitor fuel.
