Bahrain Logistics Zone (BLZ) has inked a contract to lease upwards of 8.4k sqm to Al Daaysi Holding, according to a statement released on Saturday. The land will be used to build and operate a fully integrated logistics hub specialized in logistics operations for FMCG, including refrigerated and frozen food products, the statement said. No investment ticket or timeline for the initiative was disclosed.

What they said: The partnership looks to boost Bahrain’s re-exports to Africa and the Middle East, while also bolstering food security and local consumption in Bahrain, Al Daaysi Holding CEO Isa Al Daaysi said.
