ExportFlow
About us
We build the infrastructure behind agro commodities exports.
ExportFlow brings together the capabilities required to move agricultural products from African producers to global buyers.
Everything between the farm gate and the buyer
Five capabilities, one partner across the whole export journey.
Market access
We help African suppliers identify and access international markets. Our market intelligence helps businesses understand:
- Where demand is growing
- Which markets are importing specific commodities
- Buyer requirements
- Pricing dynamics
- Regulatory requirements
- Competitive landscapes
- Market-entry opportunities
We turn market opportunities into export opportunities.Talk to us about market access
Export compliance
International trade involves complex documentation, standards and regulatory requirements. ExportFlow helps suppliers navigate:
- Export documentation
- Product standards
- Certifications
- Regulatory requirements
- Customs processes
- Destination-market requirements
- Traceability and compliance
Less bureaucracy. Greater confidence.Talk to us about export compliance
Export finance
Access to working capital remains one of the biggest constraints to scaling African exports. ExportFlow connects qualifying businesses to financing solutions designed around the realities of both local and international trade. We believe that strong local traders can graduate into strong international traders. Potential solutions include:
- Pre-export finance
- Working capital — local and international
- Purchase-order financing
- Invoice discounting
- Receivables finance
- Trade finance
- Structured commodity finance
We are helping suppliers fulfil larger orders without being constrained by working capital.Talk to us about export finance
Supply optimization
International buyers need consistency — not just availability. ExportFlow makes the export journey more seamless by starting with the customers and working backwards to optimize the supply side. We work with producers, aggregators and suppliers to improve:
- Supply reliability
- Product quality
- Aggregation
- Production planning
- Traceability
- Packaging
- Logistics coordination
- Delivery performance
We build supply chains that international buyers can trust.Talk to us about supply optimization

- Europe
- Asia
- Middle East
- North America
