Case Study: Winfield Africa keeps avocados cold and on time with DSV

DSV flies perishable avocados from Kenya to Europe

Winfield Africa, a Nairobi-based indigenous trading and trading company active in agriculture, needed a reliable way to move perishable Kenyan avocados to Europe without breaking the cold chain. Because avocados must arrive at the right ripeness, the company turned to DSV for temperature-controlled logistics and air freight support.

DSV implemented a cold-chain solution that started at Winfield’s farms, continued through dedicated cold rooms at Nairobi airport, and extended to rapid customs clearance and refrigerated trailer transfer on arrival in London. The result was better delivery performance and fewer rejected avocados, with Winfield Africa reporting that customers were much happier because the fruit arrived on time and the cold chain rarely failed.
