	Unitrans in Tanzania

Unitrans provides the loading and transport logistics at the Kilombero Sugar Company estate in Tanzania where Illovo Sugar has a 55% shareholding. Unitrans Sugar and Agriculture General Manager – Africa Guy Prinsloo says the company has played a key role in estate logistics since 2000.

Prinsloo says the close working relationship Unitrans has enjoyed with estate personnel has been a key factor in the success of the ongoing logistics and agricultural services. “We supply a considerable range of services to Illovo – Kilombero, from haulage to GPS-based ridging, laser excavator work and land preparation.”

Currently Unitrans is testing a mechanical harvester program at Kilombero.
