SUPPLY CHAIN DEVELOPMENT

East African Solutions offer a number of services to reduce the risk of importing items into or exporting items out of East Africa, helping to find reliable suppliers and partners as well as work around de-risking import and exports across borders within the region and internationally.

Local

For companies looking to export their own goods either internally within East Africa, from further afield in Africa or internationally, we can assist with market intelligence on pricing, logistics, costs and any licensing or tax requirements.

We can provide intelligence on demand and supply trends and identify suitable distributors, wholesalers, retailers, logistics providers, insurers and other key partners to help facilitate their trade in the region.

International

To those looking to export their products either within the region or further afield, we can provide advice to businesses assisting them on how to make their products ‘export ready’ as well as identifying and linking international market for their products and ensuring compliance with all of the necessary exportation documentation and procedures such as the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) to export to the US, export requirements to the EU or post-Brexit changes regarding export to the UK.

Processes and Procedures

We bring buyers and sellers closer together from the point of view of designing procurement, inspection and payment methods, financing options, processes, shipping and negotiating various contractual terms to satisfy the comfort of all parties and reduce the risks of international trade in or out of the region.
