Cold chain management.
A specialist cold-chain coordination business connecting fresh produce out of Zimbabwe with global markets, built around precision, not assumption.
OUR STORY
Jakana Logistics began in 2013 in a small garage in Harare, managing a KLM Cargo freighter block space agreement. From those early days of coordinating uplift and export shipments, the focus was clear: protect product quality through disciplined cold-chain control.
Over time, that focus has evolved into a specialist operation. Today, Jakana is a leading cold-chain export connector of high-value fruit, vegetables, flowers, and soft fruit out of Zimbabwe, managing the critical link between farm, cold storage, and global markets.
Operating across a country now experiencing a strong agricultural resurgence, reminiscent of the early 1990s, Jakana sits at the centre of this growth. The rapid expansion of blueberries, in particular, has positioned Zimbabwe within a unique global supply window, supplying premium markets across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and beyond.
We build strong, reliable relationships between growers, cold stores, transporters, and buyers, aligning every part of the chain to work as one system.
Temperature is controlled, monitored, and verified at every stage, from intake to dispatch, not assumed.
Farmers and buyers have clear insight into stock levels, temperature status, and dispatch timelines, ensuring confidence at every stage.
