DL

Logistics & distribution

The Logistics & distribution domain (DL) organises the physical circulation of products: collection, transport, storage, cold chain, transit and export, logistics platforms. This is the link that decides what reaches the market — and in what condition.

Key challenges
  • High post-harvest losses between field and market, for lack of organised collection.
  • Nascent cold chain between production areas and consumption centres.
  • Insufficient storage: value is dumped at harvest and missing at the lean season.
  • Demanding export corridors: deadlines, traceability, documentary compliance.
What XP-NOVA brings
  • Logistics studies and corridor qualification, from field edge to port.
  • Sizing of storage and the cold chain.
  • Supply plans and organisation of collection.
  • Documentary preparation of exports with the codified procedure.
