Africa Logistics Update July August 2024 Edition

The July-August 2024 issue of LUA focuses on intra-continental trade. The cover story explores the rapid growth of Africa’s e-commerce sector, while a special report explores the potential of the AfCFTA to drive growth and transform the continent’s economic future.

Cover Story delves into how Africa’s e-commerce sector is changing logistics across the continent. “As internet access and smartphone adoption grow, demand for online shopping is skyrocketing, creating unique challenges and opportunities for logistics innovation,” it says. Meanwhile, the Special Report points out that the boost to intra-African trade promised by the AfCFTA is only possible by overcoming regulatory hurdles and fostering integration.

We have another special report that goes beyond the borders of the African continent, with a specific focus on maritime transport hotspots around the world and its impact on air transport.

This issue also features interviews with David Ambridge, Director of Cargo and Mail at TAAG Angola, and Askin Demir, General Manager of Blaise Diagne International Airport.
