Let’s start thinking about how much brighter the future can be when we genuinely care for one another.

I’m completely exhausted!
It’s been an incredible week, traveling across Atlanta to visit African stores and explore how we can connect them with sellers from Nigeria.
After five days of going from one end of the city to the other, I’ve gained some valuable insights:
1. Profit Drives Business Decisions: African store owners are primarily motivated by profit. They are more likely to stock products from the Caribbean if those items are cheaper. As a result, many African stores get Caribbean products than those from their native Africa.
2. Quality Is a Major Concern: For most of these stores, quality is a key factor in product selection. They tend to prefer products that meet certain branding and quality standards—standards that many small African businesses can’t always meet.
3. Logistics and Restocking Is Important: Efficient logistics and the ability to easily restock are significant factors. Many still don’t understand the importance of keeping products in warehouses near their customers, opting instead for a “ship on demand” approach.
As I said, I’m really tired and will leave it at this for now—I can’t wait to board my flight. In upcoming posts, I’ll go into more details on the key challenges that are preventing many African businesses from breaking into the lucrative U.S. market.

A few months back, our Houston office suffered a major setback due to a major accident that required us to temporarily shut down the facility.
Happy to announce that we have sorted out all issues with the insurance company and are making progress to reopen in Houston.
As a proud advocate for African businesses, I see so much untapped potential in our food commodities—honey, ginger, spices, you name it. We have some of the best in the world, but do you know where we fall short? Branding.
When was the last time you evaluated your branding?
