We maintain on-site cold storage warehouses with different temperature zones for chilled and frozen products. Chilled meat is kept in cold rooms just above freezing (0–4°C), while frozen meat is kept in freezer rooms at -20°C or below. Our storage facilities have backup power systems and are monitored to maintain stable conditions. Products are systematically organized by batch and production date, using a first-in-first-out (FIFO) inventory system unless instructed otherwise by clients (some might want a specific inventory held for quality aging, etc.). We can hold significant volumes, which allows us to consolidate full container loads for clients who want to build up stock before shipping.

For clients who purchase on a forward contract or who need to time their shipments, we can store their meat products at our facility for an agreed duration. This is useful, for example, if an importer wants to stockpile during a production peak and release shipments periodically. Our warehouse management keeps the products safe and insured during this period. We also provide inventory reports to the client so they know how much product of theirs is in storage at any time.

While our primary focus is export, we do offer distribution services within the East African region for clients who may need it. Through our logistics network, we can deliver products to neighboring countries or port cities using our refrigerated trucks. Additionally, within Uganda, we distribute to major hotels, supermarkets, and institutions – showcasing our products and ensuring we remain connected to local demand. This distribution capability means we can quickly mobilize to deliver to Entebbe airport or port collection points as needed for export.

We understand that international supply chains sometimes face uncertainties, and our warehousing can act as a buffer. We keep a buffer stock of certain generic products (like halal beef primal cuts) ready in storage to fulfill last-minute or surge orders. This stock is rotated regularly to maintain freshness. For contract clients, we can also produce and keep an emergency stock based on their forecast. Our distribution team works closely with clients on scheduling dispatches so that the inventory moves out at the optimal times, balancing shelf-life considerations and market demand.

Every package leaving our warehouse is tagged and documented. We use an internal system to trace which batch went to which client or shipment. This traceability continues beyond our door – we often coordinate with freight forwarders and provide them with handling instructions to preserve product integrity. If any issues arise in transit or on arrival, our traceability system enables us to quickly isolate the batch and take appropriate action, demonstrating accountability to our customers.
