Airlines are spreading their network throughout the continent
Recently many assurances have come forward by authorities in United Kingdom that there would be no big change in trade relations of the country with South Africa and other countries of the region after Brexit. It means no downward trend will be observed even some experts have predicted that there would be possible increase in business volume between the regions.
Most of big industrial countries and their airlines have been eying at the future of African markets so they continue to move on with their plans to spread out network so that they can take advantage of their strong base in coming years. New destinations have been added in list of many renowned airlines that have aspirations to focus on eastern Africa in coming years. In this way the basics have been getting right to launch this forgotten continent as potential market for multinational companies.
High end products and perishables
At present, the continent imports are expensive and high end products and exports consist of perishables. Trade from UK to Africa is no exception, so the freight forwarders are very much aware of the flexibility and volatile conditions of this route.
For this, air cargo is much more important than other means of cargo. Government support is necessary for success of making this growing market into a reliable source of agricultural products. Mainly the region sends yield of fields so to enhance the production required measures always come from authorities in power. Economic cycle pushes each segment to boost the whole economy that ultimately produces strong middle class with reasonable power to buy things.
Cargo Transportation Volume
There are many efforts on behalf of trade ministers of both sides to explore all possible sectors of trade and industry that could be venues of cooperation in order to increase volume to its actual potential. The future of digital economy has been eyed at so focus would remain to transform the overall perception by including modern technology at every level.
This flow of modernity surely is from UK to African nations. Small and medium sized businesses are getting assistance, business environment has been encouraging and access to finance has been made easy. With such crucial and basic steps local industry would create jobs for people in Africa.
Spotlight Back on Commonwealth Nations
Before joining the European Economic Community decades ago in 1973 goods transportation were mainly with Commonwealth nations but afterwards all those arrangements were undermined by this economic confederation. Now once again concentration is back on the same to keep industry in England worth producing jobs and revenue.
Reallocation of resources from previous routes to the new destinations is also requires serious effort but usually there is flexibility to do so. After being free from rigorous and strict rules of food imports of food items of European Union there is likelihood of getting in agreements with African nations for import of those items that have limited shelf life. For this purpose there should have been suitable facilities at freight forwarding points so that the quality may sustain for the end consumer.
