Issues Regarding Distribution

The document discusses issues with distribution both locally and internationally. Locally, poor road conditions and difficult terrain in rural areas challenge distribution and can lead to spoilage of perishable goods. Internationally, challenges like misdirected shipments, delays, strikes, narcotics found in containers, and pilferage can impact foreign exchange earnings. Some measures to mitigate these problems include careful pre-loading checks, contingency plans for strikes, public awareness of narcotics, and holding people responsible for lost goods.

Issues regarding Distribution


Distribution locally is challenged by poor road conditions and difficult terrain
especially in the rural areas. Spoilage of perishable goods is very costly and therefore
types of transportation used must be equipped to carry perishable goods.
Problems encountered in Overseas Transportation
The challenges faced in transporting goods internationally will impact foreign exchange
earnings. These challenges include:

-Misdirection of goods goods mistakenly sent to the wrong destination


-flight delays
-strikes by airport and ship port workers.
-narcotics found in containers
-Pilferage- goods stolen in transit.

Measures to mitigate problems of distribution

-careful checks before loading packages for shipment


-contingency plan when strikes occur
-public awareness on the consequences of narcotics found in containers
-making persons responsible for any goods lost in their care
