Khalifa Logistics
Overview
Khalifa Logistics is the logistics and freight execution platform of Khalifa International.
The company operates across freight forwarding, customs coordination, and regulatory navigation, with a specific focus on food, agriculture, and halal-sensitive supply chains.
The platform is designed to support national food security objectives, halal trade integrity, and cross-border market participation through disciplined, compliance-led execution rather than asset-heavy expansion.
Operations prioritise control, traceability, and regulatory coherence over scale for its own sake.
Core Functions
Freight Forwarding & Trade Execution
Khalifa Logistics coordinates cross-border movement of goods across sea, air, and land routes, working with licensed partners and carriers to ensure reliable execution across regulated trade corridors. The company operates on an asset-light basis, focusing on orchestration, documentation, and execution control rather than ownership of physical transport assets.
Customs & Regulatory Coordination
Khalifa Logistics manages customs clearance and regulatory processes either directly or through licensed agents, ensuring compliance with applicable import, export, quarantine, and inspection requirements. The company maintains close procedural alignment with food, agriculture, and halal-related regulatory frameworks to reduce friction, delays, and compliance risk.
Halal & Food-Sensitive Logistics
Khalifa Logistics supports halal-aligned supply chains by embedding segregation principles, documentation integrity, and traceability requirements into logistics workflows. Halal logistics is treated as a system of compliance, custody, and process discipline across the supply chain.
Role in Food Security
Khalifa Logistics supports food security initiatives by providing private-sector execution capacity for the movement, clearance, and coordination of essential food and agricultural goods. The company complements institutional and public-sector actors by focusing on operational reliability, compliance discipline, and cross-border execution, without duplicating or displacing existing national frameworks.
Engagement Model
Khalifa Logistics engages through structured service arrangements, long-term execution partnerships, and integrated support for Khalifa Resources and selected third-party clients. Engagements are governed by clear scopes, defined risk allocation, and strict adherence to regulatory and compliance requirements.
