China Africa co construction one belt, one road, the fastest 48 hours to reach the destination port! See how Pan African express connects Africa and the world

China has been the largest trading partner of Africa for 12 consecutive years. With the deepening of China Africa trade, China Africa Logistics has become an important bridge connecting the economic development of China and the African continent.

One belt, one road construction has been developing continuously. In recent years, trade between China and African countries has been developing and growing. So we decided to develop Sino African logistics business. "Zhang Jiayuan, sales manager of Pan African Express Co., Ltd., said that Pan African express was founded in 2014," developing Africa to connect Africa and the world "is its development concept." Guangzhou, " In the same year, Pan African express opened the first destination port in Africa in Ethiopia. Pan African express can provide express services from China to major cities in African countries and air freight and charter transportation services from China to major cities in Africa.

Up to now, the Pan African express service network has spread all over Africa, serving 26 African countries and 29 African cities such as Ethiopia, Tanzania, Ghana and Nigeria. Through localized partners, it has realized the whole process integrated and traceable logistics and supply chain services between China and Africa. Pan African express can realize multi-point centralized delivery in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Hong Kong by setting up transfer warehouses in major cities in China and relying on the domestic express and logistics system and the perfect network of Ethiopian Airlines; There are seven full cargo planes in Guangzhou and Shanghai, with an average daily capacity of more than 800 tons. So far, Pan African Express has more than 55000 members and serves more than 12750000 cross-border E-Commerce orders.

Pan African express carries more than 16 million cross-border e-commerce packages every year. In terms of timeliness, it takes only 48 hours for Pan African express to reach the destination port in the whole process, and 24-hour door-to-door delivery can be realized in some areas. Zhang Jiayuan said that the establishment of Pan African express opened a new era of online shopping in Africa, exposed African local residents to the new shopping mode of overseas shopping for the first time, and established a zero distance shopping high-speed bridge for overseas Chinese.

Zhang Jiayuan said that as Pan African express further expands the African market, we find that there are problems in the development of China Africa Logistics and cross-border e-commerce, such as increasingly fierce competition among e-commerce platforms, high logistics costs, frequent trade frictions and lack of professionals. Therefore, in 2015, Pan African express invested in the construction of kikuu, a B2C e-commerce platform for Africa. At present, it has covered six African countries and developed into the top three e-commerce platforms in Africa.

Why did Pan African express choose to develop cross-border e-commerce in Africa thousands of miles away? Zhang Jiayuan admitted that many logistics and e-commerce giants are "eyeing" in relatively mature markets such as Southeast Asia, India, Europe and the United States. The logistics market and cross-border e-commerce market there have gradually changed from a blue ocean to a red ocean. Logistics and e-commerce in Africa are still in their infancy and are precisely the best target markets. "Of course, we have to face the challenges of backward local infrastructure, low smartphone penetration and low per capita income. Therefore, under this background, we proposed and decided to implement the new blue ocean project of logistics + e-commerce."

Differentiated layout to strengthen competitiveness. Zhang Jiayuan said that different from the development path of other logistics and cross-border e-commerce enterprises, in terms of logistics system, we choose to build our own logistics team in key markets such as Ghana, buy Motorcycles, recruit local couriers and develop the last kilometer distribution network; In terms of e-commerce, Jiku cooperates with local mobile operators in Africa to build its own payment wallet.

Looking to the future, Zhang Jiayuan said that Pan African express will continue to consolidate its market position in China Africa aviation logistics, continuously expand its influence in China Africa cross-border e-commerce, continue to expand service categories and user groups, deeply cultivate the African market, and strive to build Pan African express into the first brand of China Africa cross-border e-commerce and logistics services. At the same time, Pan African express will expand the route network layout and explore diversified transportation modes, such as opening shipping services, actively participate in the action of stabilizing the regional supply chain, and work with partners in the industrial chain to help the world economic recovery.
