Traders of Africa is an e-commerce marketplace focused on driving intra-African trade as well as trade between Africa and other countries through technology. Our mission is to create sustainable wealth for individuals, communities, and organizations in Africa.

This is the problem of International Trade in Africa that we identified..
Africa’s smallholder farmers face many challenges preventing them from calling up their participation in markets, including lack of access to quality inputs and financial services, inadequate support from government and high transaction costs incurred when they transfer produce from farms to markets.

Middlemen take advantage of the lack of funds by these farmers, to purchase from products at cheaper prices and sell at much higher price in the global market. What if we could create a fairer market for these farmers?

Where We Come In
We connect thousands of suppliers and small scale farmers to large market opportunities through our digital platform, tradersofafrica.com making it easier for international importers to discover African manufacturers and producers.
