Cargo from Burundi to Karachi with Alliance Shipping

Cargo from Burundi to Karachi

Burundi is a landlocked country in the heart of East Africa. If you are based in Burundi and thinking of sending cargo to Karachi, Pakistan, you can use Alliance Shipping services. We provide reliable cargo solutions by both air and sea. Since Burundi is landlocked, we utilize the country’s dry ports to facilitate shipping to Pakistan. The cargo from Burundi to Karachi passes through these dry ports. It is then transported via neighboring countries, such as Tanzania or Kenya, to major seaports before being sent to Pakistan.

Export Burundi Tea to Karachi with Alliance Shipping

Burundi is one of the poorest countries in GDP. However, despite its economic challenges, it is rich in valuable agricultural products, especially tea and coffee. The country earns 90% of its foreign exchange from these two items.

Tea is one of the top commodities exported from Burundi, not just to Pakistan but worldwide. Pakistan is highly dependent on importing tea from countries like Burundi due to its limited domestic tea production. According to the OEC, in 2023, Burundi exported $2.97 million worth of goods to Pakistan, with tea making up the majority of that trade.

If you are a business owner involved in tea cultivation, processing, or export, you may be looking to expand your market reach. Alliance Shipping can help you send your tea to Karachi, Pakistan, efficiently and reliably.

How We Ship Cargo From Burundi to Karachi

Alliance Shipping is one of the leading shipping companies based in Dubai. Over the years, we have established a network of trusted logistics partners and carriers. This enables us to deliver cargo services not just from Burundi to Karachi but worldwide. We use a multimodal approach to send cargo from Burundi to Karachi.

This is necessary because Burundi is a landlocked country with no direct access to the sea. However, it does have a dry port, mainly the Port of Bujumbura. The port is used to ship goods to Tanzanian ports, such as Dar es Salaam, and then onwards to Karachi, Pakistan, via the Arabian Sea.

Alliance Shipping offers a wide range of shipping solutions for cargo from Burundi to Karachi. If you’re looking to send bulk tea shipments from Burundi, we provide containers equipped for dry commodities like tea, ensuring freshness and protection during transit. We also offer complete documentation handling, cargo tracking, and 24/7 support.

Port of Bujumbura to Karachi Port

We use the Port of Bujumbura to facilitate cargo shipments from Burundi to Karachi. As Burundi’s largest port on Lake Tanganyika, it handles approximately 80% of the country’s external trade. The port includes 920 meters of quay container terminals, four gantry cranes, forklifts, and over 18,000 square meters of warehouse space. Overall, it is an excellent port with proper facilities to send tea and cargo from Burundi to Karachi.

In Karachi, we have teams at two ports, Karachi Port and Bin Qasim Port. Both Ports are major ports in Pakistan, handling millions of tonnes of cargo and shipments from around the world. The cargo is then unloaded and sent to the warehouses or locations that you specify in Karachi. Shipments are handled with care and safety throughout the entire process.
