What products are suitable for the African market?

Africa is a magical continent, where the countries need to import many products, such as daily necessities, fertilizers, building materials, mechanical and electrical, machinery, hardware, auto parts and so on. Therefore, it is a good place for doing import and export trades. And Amanbo CEO Mr. Liao Xuhui has 16 years of experience in trade between China and Africa. His brands Leadder and My leadder in Africa have been very famous and sales are very good.

Compared to the election of the product, the African people are different with many countries. How different? For this question, Mr. Liao Xuhui can answer for us. And this is related to its e-commerce business.

He told us, “Amanbo’s suppliers are mainly the domestic original factories. According to our analysis, there are four categories of products are very necessary for the current stage in Africa. The first one is the infrastructure products, most of the African countries are now building houses, bridges and roads, so the products are related to the infrastructure, building and electrical materials are our main recommendation. The second one is the infant products, because the proportion of infants in Africa is very high. The third one is the young people consumer products, the young people under the age of 16 accounted for 60% in Africa, so the consumption of young people must not be lost, such as electronic products, digital communications, etc. The fourth one is the daily necessities, the consumer goods are growing quickly throughout Africa. Such as shampoo, in five years ago, the people in the West Africa, Central Africa and other poor countries were not used, but in recent years people have begun to use shampoo and shower gel. So as long as the four categories related to the market in Africa is very popular.”


At present, Amanbo has set up six overseas warehouses in six countries in Africa, Mr. Liao Xuhui plans to complete more than 10 overseas warehouses at the end of this year. A lot of suppliers in China want to import their goods to Africa through Amanbo, but based on the situation in Africa and the consumption of African people, Amanbo will select the products which suitable for African market to send to Amanbo overseas warehouses in Africa, if the products are not   suitable for African market, Amanbo will not accept them. And according to Mr. Liao Xuhui’s analysis, the infrastructure products, infant products, young people consumer products and daily necessities will be preferred to be selected and sent to the African market.
