Rwanda diversification model drives Zipline’s expansion plans
Zipline, a Washington-backed logistics firm, plans to expand its drone delivery services across Africa by replicating its Rwanda model, which includes livestock insemination and cold-chain storage. A study by the company linked its services to a 17% increase in farmers' income from pork production, and it is negotiating with multiple African nations to establish new distribution centers.
