Africa and the Americas are emerging as the shining stars of the airfreight industry, according to the 2012 Agility Emerging Markets Logistics Index.
Kenya, Nigeria, Tunisia, Morocco and the Latin American nations of Ecuador, Peru, Mexico and Chile all rank among the top 10 fastest-growing exporters, the report found.
What’s more, the index — compiled by Transport Intelligence — detailed how Kenyan exports by air to the European Union surged 134 percent between 2005 and 2011. Ethiopia also saw strong export volumes to the U.S. and EU, driven by the region’s prolific coffee sector.
On the import side, Transport Intelligence discovered that Brazil, Russia, India and China (the BRIC countries) topped the list of importers from the U.S. and EU. The United Arab Emirates took home fourth-place honors in this category, with South America, Turkey and Mexico all placing among the top 10.
