Why Choosing the Right Country Matters
Selling your farm produce abroad can bring 2–5x more profit than selling locally, but not every country is the same. Some countries buy African food like hot cake, while others have high import restrictions.
Let’s break down the top countries African farmers should focus on — and why.
🌍 Top 7 Countries to Target
1. United States 🇺🇸
- Why? Over 2.5 million Africans, mostly Nigerians, Ghanaians, and Ethiopians live here.
- Hot Products: Garri, palm oil, dried fish, spices, shea butter, hibiscus tea.
- 💡 Tip: Partner with African stores and restaurants.
2. United Kingdom 🇬🇧
- Why? Large Nigerian and West African communities. UK supermarkets even have “African Foods” sections now.
- Hot Products: Yam, plantain flour, dried pepper, egusi, bitter leaf.
- 💡 Tip: Focus on proper packaging — UK buyers love clean branding.
3. Canada 🇨🇦
- Why? Fast-growing African immigrant population, especially in Ontario and Alberta.
