Cold Chain Logistics in Kenya

Cold chain does not fail dramatically. It fails quietly: a unit switched off during a long border wait, a trailer loaded warm, a handover with no record of what the temperature was when responsibility changed hands. By the time anyone knows, the product is already compromised.

Jastan Logistics runs refrigerated trucks operating from −20°C to +5°C, with pre-cooled loading, continuous temperature logging and documented handovers. For dairy processors, meat producers, fresh produce exporters and pharmaceutical distributors, that record is as much the product as the cargo is.

What we move under temperature control

Dairy collection and distribution, meat and poultry, fresh produce, frozen goods, and medical and pharmaceutical supplies requiring controlled conditions. Loads can be split across set points where the vehicle configuration allows.

How the chain is protected

Vehicles are pre-cooled before loading. Temperature is logged continuously through the trip and the record travels with the consignment. Handover documents capture the temperature at both ends, so responsibility is never ambiguous. If a unit deviates from its set point, our operations team is alerted and there is a defined escalation rather than an argument after the fact.

Small consignments, same standard

Not every temperature-sensitive delivery needs a 10-tonne reefer. Our last-mile motorbikes carry insulated boxes for small parcels — vaccines, samples, small pharmacy orders — so the standard holds all the way to the door.
