How to Source from Suppliers in Africa

Start from the country lists rather than the whole region: open the country you want to buy from, then narrow by product category once you are inside. Each company profile shows the product range, the city and the contact details. Sending the same specification to several companies in two or three countries gives you comparable replies instead of one quote with nothing to measure it against.

What to Check Before You Order from Africa

African supply is strongest in agricultural and mineral origins, so establish first whether the company grows, aggregates or trades — the answer changes lead time and minimum quantity. Ask for the harvest window and grade standard, agree load-port inspection where the value justifies it, and check the inland and feeder-port legs, which is where schedules slip.
