The freight logistics sector of Tanzania faces capacity-related challenges, which undermine its efficiency and lead to poor services, delays, compliance challenges, and low competitiveness, among others. The negative impact is felt nationally and in countries across the region that use the Tanzania transport logistics corridors.
