Africa Sourcing Partner for U.S. Businesses: Unlocking Reliable Supply Chains Across the Continent
Get in touch on Whatsapp now:

As global supply chains evolve, U.S. businesses are increasingly turning to Africa as a sourcing destination for raw materials, consumer goods, and industrial products. Rising manufacturing capacity, competitive costs, and trade frameworks like the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) make Africa a smart sourcing alternative to Asia.

For American companies seeking a trusted Africa sourcing partner, Wigmore Trading offers end-to-end solutions—bridging the gap between U.S. buyers and African suppliers with efficiency, transparency, and reliability.

Why U.S. Companies Should Source from Africa

1. Diversify Beyond Asia

Global disruptions—pandemics, trade wars, and rising Chinese production costs—have highlighted the need for supply chain diversification. Africa offers untapped opportunities for reducing overdependence on Asia.

2. Access Competitive Pricing & Unique Products

Africa provides cost-competitive raw materials and manufactured goods, including cocoa, coffee, textiles, agricultural commodities, and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG).

3. Benefit from AGOA Preferences

Through the African Growth and Opportunity Act, qualifying African countries can export certain goods duty-free to the United States, improving margins for U.S. importers.

4. Support Ethical Sourcing & Sustainability

Partnering with African suppliers promotes ethical trade, job creation, and sustainable practices, aligning with the ESG goals of U.S. corporations.

5. Growing Industrial Hubs

Manufacturing hubs in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa are scaling up production capabilities, offering a wide variety of finished goods for export.

What to Look for in an Africa Sourcing Partner

  • Regional Supplier Network: A good partner connects you with verified suppliers across West, East, and Southern Africa.

  • Compliance Management: Ensure your sourcing meets U.S. customs, AGOA, and international trade compliance.

  • End-to-End Logistics: Your partner should handle shipping, customs clearance, and distribution to streamline your supply chain.

  • Market Expertise: Choose a partner who understands both African markets and U.S. business practices.
