Agility Logistics Parks Africa plans to expand its Maputo logistics park in phases over the next ten years, in line with demand for warehousing and business-support infrastructure. The company disclosed that the first phase of the development is already complete, with 32,000 square metres built and fully occupied, within a total site that its chief executive placed at 360,000 square metres.

The information was presented on Thursday (5) by Agility Logistics Parks Africa Chief Executive Geoffrey White during the second and final day of the Mozambique Transport and Logistics Investment Forum and Exhibition (TRANS-LOG MOZ 2026).

Agility Logistics Parks is part of the Agility Global group and focuses on the development, financing, and management of logistics and industrial parks, offering facilities for warehousing, distribution, product processing, e-commerce, and light manufacturing. According to its 2025 annual report, the company held approximately 877,000 square metres of warehousing facilities across seven countries in Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia.

On the African continent, the company operates in Egypt, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, and Mozambique, and has a project under development in Nigeria. White noted that approximately 65 per cent of the company's client portfolio consists of multinational corporations, with the remainder made up of local businesses.

Agility bets on modern logistics infrastructure to ease business set-up and drive industrial development in Mozambique

On the Maputo development, White explained that the site includes land reserved for progressive expansion. "The first phase is complete, with 32,000 square metres built and occupied, and we have 360,000 square metres here in Maputo," he said, adding that "it is a large space that will serve us over the next ten years as we add new phases to meet demand."

White highlighted that the company's business model is built around pre-constructing warehouses, allowing investors and economic operators to begin operations without needing to acquire land or build facilities from scratch. "We build and finance our projects ourselves," he said.

He explained that this approach is designed to reduce upfront costs and the time required for companies to establish themselves, by offering ready-to-use infrastructure. He added that Agility's parks allow tenants to initially lease smaller spaces and gradually scale up their footprint without the need to relocate operations.

In White's view, providing modern logistics infrastructure is a tool for facilitating business in Africa, reducing investment-related risks, and creating conditions for new industrial and commercial activity.

The presentation took place during the panel "Logistics Hubs and Dry Ports: Transforming Corridors into Trade", moderated by Yara Mutola, Executive Director of the Mozambique-Netherlands Chamber of Commerce. Alongside White, participants included Luís Manuel da Fonseca Nunes, Governor of Luanda Province; Sandra Roque of UN-Habitat; Jaime Comiche of UNIDO; Ozi Honwana of Grindrod; and Júlio Maineque of Orey Africa. The debate focused on the development of logistics centres, dry ports, and industrial platforms to drive value creation along Mozambique's corridors.
