Buy from India: the supplier behind Africa’s keke, bikes and medicines

Updated October 2026Reading time 6 minBy Wigmore Trading
NAFDAC registration checksBikes, pharma & food

If you have ridden a keke or an okada in Nigeria, it was probably made in India. India is also the world’s biggest rice exporter and the largest supplier of generic medicines to Africa. Most of what it sells is regulated at the destination, so the real work is in the registrations.

Bajaj & TVSmost of West Africa’s bikes and keke
GenericsIndia supplies much of Africa’s medicine

FAQs

Questions buyers ask us

Can you supply Bajaj or TVS tricycles directly from India?
These brands sell through official distributors in each country, so for most buyers the local distributor is the right route. We can source compatible parts and other brands directly.
Do Indian medicines need NAFDAC registration?
Yes. Medicines imported into Nigeria must be registered with NAFDAC.
Does India restrict rice exports?
India has changed its rice export rules several times in recent years, so we check the current position before quoting.
