Message of the President

It is with great humility and a deep sense of responsibility that I have accepted the role of President of the Freight Forwarding Association of Mauritius. I am honored to lead this esteemed organization at a time when the global logistics and supply chain industry is evolving rapidly, and our role in connecting Mauritius to the world is more crucial than ever.

As freight forwarders, we stand at the heart of international trade, ensuring the smooth and efficient movement of goods across borders. Our work impacts every sector of the economy, and as such, we must continuously adapt, innovate, and strengthen our practices to meet global standards.

My vision for the Association is built on three pillars: Collaboration, Innovation, and Capacity Building. We will work hand-in-hand with government authorities, port operators, customs, airlines, shipping lines, and our fellow members to address industry challenges and seize new opportunities. We must embrace digital transformation and sustainability to future-proof our operations and offer greater value to our clients.

Training and development will also remain a priority. We will strive to equip our members with the knowledge and tools required to stay competitive in an increasingly complex global trade environment.

I would like to thank the outgoing leadership for their dedication and achievements, and I look forward to building on that foundation with a renewed sense of energy and purpose.

To all our members: your engagement and ideas are the lifeblood of this association. I encourage open dialogue and active participation, as together, we can shape a stronger future for our industry.

Let us move forward united, as proud ambassadors of Mauritian logistics excellence.
