Kenya's Export & Freight Channels
How our commercial shipments move from Central Kenya processing mills to international destinations.
Port of Mombasa (KE MBA) — Ocean Freight

Nairobi Dry Port (ICD) — SGR Freight Rail
Coffee is hulled, graded, and customs-sealed in Nairobi, then transported via dedicated Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) cargo trains directly into Mombasa Port within 8 hours.
JKIA Nairobi (NBO) — Air Freight & Samples
Used for rapid dispatch of 250g–500g pre-shipment cupping samples (PSS) via DHL/FedEx for laboratory evaluation, as well as time-sensitive micro-lot specialty consignments.
