T & C Carriers supports South Africa's agricultural economy by providing reliable export solutions for a wide range of commodities. We handle bulk and packaged movements of grains, oilseeds, sugar, pulses, cotton, citrus, and processed agri-products, connecting farmers, producers, and traders to markets across the SADC region and beyond. Our knowledge of both seasonal export cycles and international buyer requirements allows us to manage agricultural supply chains effectively, ensuring that products reach their destinations in prime condition and on schedule.
Agricultural exports demand careful handling and strict compliance with international standards. At T & C Carriers, we provide bulk and bagged cargo solutions, including loading supervision and secure handling at silos, warehouses, and ports. We also coordinate fumigation services where required, ensuring compliance with phytosanitary regulations and protecting goods during international transit. In addition, we assist with quality documentation, including inspection certificates and compliance records, giving exporters peace of mind that their shipments meet buyer and regulatory requirements.
Different commodities require different handling conditions, and our logistics solutions are tailored to meet those needs. For perishable produce such as citrus and other fresh fruits, we offer reefer (temperature-controlled) transport, ensuring freshness is maintained from farm to port. For non-perishable goods such as grains or cotton, we provide ambient transport options via palletised or break-bulk methods, depending on the cargo volume and buyer specifications. This flexibility allows us to adapt to various cargo types, ensuring that agricultural products arrive in perfect condition for export.
Exporting agricultural commodities requires seamless coordination across multiple stakeholders. T & C Carriers manages the full export documentation process, including phytosanitary certificates, certificates of origin, export permits, and customs paperwork. We also liaise directly with mills, cooperatives, traders, and port authorities to ensure that shipments are aligned with vessel schedules and international buyer requirements. By integrating inland transport with port operations and export compliance, we help clients streamline their agri-export processes, reduce turnaround times, and access global markets with confidence.
