• Costs– Rail costs are higher than necessary due to rail being facilitated by
3rd parties. – If growing regions consolidated rail efforts and managed a rail
account directly with TFR they could reduce transport costs significantly.
– Alternatively CGA rail account• Service
– Rail to Durban only works well to FPT, 333 Logistics and MFT facilities. Other facilities are too far out.
– Japan and Russia volume considered ‘rail niche’ cargo. Homogeneous and single receiving facility.
• Grapefruit rail service 1: Letsitele, Hoedspruit and Malelane to 333 Logistics.• Valencia rail service 2: Letsitele and Polokwane Hub to FPT, 333Logistics and
MFT.• Russia consolidation from Letsitele and Polokwane Hub to FPT.
– All Russia fruit is consolidated from multiple packhouses and railed to FPT.

Northern Region Container Rail via Polokwane Overview
Northern Region Container Rail via Polokwane Overview
• Operational Benefits:– Exporter can consolidate from multiple suppliers – not restricted to a single
supplier.– Accessible to the greater northern Limpopo and Zimbabwe regions.– Better equipment and better efficiency can be achieved.– EU EN 24hr rule will hinder the current Letsitele train as shipping lines will
not release empty containers without a booking reference.– Citrus can be accumulated and bookings done based on stock.– Container loading and break-bulk done from the same facility.
• Where are we?– Addressed with TFR and plan meetings with Limpopo Dept. Of Roads and
Transport.– Steering committee to oversee logistics tender process.
