“Our Mendoza-based team at Dachser Argentina understands how important the wine business is to this region’s economy. We are proud to partner with our customer, Halpern Riego, to contribute to the vitality of the vineyards by overseeing the transport of precision drip irrigation supplies into the country.”

With Dachser Argentina’s logistics expertise, innovative solutions, and global network, we serve our customers efficiently, transparently and seamlessly – helping them retain their competitive edge while meeting the demands of the marketplace.

Facing uncertain local equipment stock levels, Halpern Riego turned to Dachser Argentina to manage the logistics of importing drip irrigation equipment to the country. In fact, they entrusted Dachser Argentina to transport more than 12 containers from Spain, Turkey, Israel and other regions. As a result, Halpern Riego is able to offer irrigation solutions to their customers throughout Argentina without disruption or delay.

Interestingly, any visitor to Mendoza or Argentina's northwest interior will be surprised that it is possible to grow anything at all, much less world-class Malbec wines. The entire region resides in the shadow of the Andes mountain range resulting in a dusty, dry countryside where it rarely rains. A lack of water can reduce yields and crop quality or destroy whole harvests. In turn, this can have a devastating impact to producers, growers and the local economy. Given this challenging backdrop, drip irrigation equipment is essential in order to maintain consistent water flow to these unpredictable arid climates.

“As an industry leader of irrigation solutions, the partnership with Dachser Argentina is a natural fit for us,” said  Mr. Adrian Lijteroff, Supply Chain Manager at Halpern Riego. “They bring proven global logistics knowledge and expertise, allowing us to be well positioned to successfully deliver our drip irrigation solutions to the wine production and agricultural markets in Mendoza and throughout Argentina. Thanks to Dachser, we can continue to offer our best-in-class equipment systems, which could make all the difference in wine yields and crop output projections.”

With over 20 years of experience as a global leader of irrigation solutions, Halpern Riego has been committed to investing in Argentina with the establishment of a local site in Mendoza. It offers innovative irrigation technologies that efficiently control water delivery in vineyards and agricultural fields. These systems can ensure better yields every season regardless of crops, climates, soil type or topography.

“At Dachser Argentina, our broad logistics expertise instills confidence in our customers that their businesses can run smoothly, and, in this case, essential irrigation equipment can continue to be accessible in Argentina,” added Mr. Fernandes.

Current situation in India and the impact on DACHSER’s operations

Regarding the current situation in India, we would like to give an update about DACHSER’s operations in India. The situation as of today, April 28, 2021, is as follows:

Most branch offices across India are being kept closed as a precautionary measure due to the sudden rise of COVID cases. Our teams are working from home, with only skeletal staff at the offices and hence there are likely to be delays in responses due to the ongoing crisis. As a consequence of the lockdown, there are some operational impacts for air, sea, customs clearance and domestic trucking.

Air Freight:

  • Most countries have barred passenger traffic from India leading to no passenger carrying flights operating on International routes from/to India
  • This has created some additional constraint on already stressed space availability situation
  • Rates are bound to inch upwards for all sectors
  • Transit times too have increased as a consequence of capacity crunch

Sea Freight:

  • Sea freight was already facing the challenges due to the Suez Canal blockage end of March.
  • Ports and terminals are functioning normally, but vessel schedules are impacted by the Suez Canal blockage as well as the sudden rise of COVID cases in India.Therefore delays are expected. Customers are advised to factor in delays of 1-2 weeks while planning their inventories.
  • We expect more delays in communication or operations due to increasing COVID infections among staff at ports, customs, CFS and shipping lines.

Customs:

  • We do not have any unexpected disruptions in cargo movement in India, nor is any work stoppage expected at present.
  • Customs clearance activities are functional at the movement.
  • Customs is working with less manpower, no Customs Brokers is allowed to meet the customs officials, all processes is done faceless and things are moving in slow phase.

At DACHSER, we have undertaken significant measures to ensure our employees’ health and safety, at the same time continue to manage our day-to-day operations with minimal impact to our customers’ supply chains. Our teams are working diligently by all possible means in these testing times to assist and to overcome the challenges being faced.

Please rest assured that we will keep you updated of any changes to the current situation. In case of questions, please feel free to contact your local DACHSER representative in the region.
