Region · Nigeria ↔ Europe

From Lagos to Europe — without the broken promises.

Trade consultant connecting Nigerian exporters with European buyers — agri, cosmetics, garments, raw materials. EU-side compliance, payment security, end-to-end deal support.

What we keep seeing

Europe wants more from Nigeria than it is currently buying — shea, cocoa, hibiscus, sesame, craft, beauty, garments. Nigerian producers want European-scale buyers but lose deals before they start, usually over the same three things: proof of quality across distance, payment security on the European side, and compliance documentation that holds up at EU import.

These are solvable problems with the right structure. They are not solvable with cold outreach and a hopeful first shipment.

We work this corridor selectively — Nigerian exporters and cooperatives serious about a real European relationship, paired with European buyers who actually want West African product on their shelves.

How we help

European buyer matching

Vetted European importers actively interested in Nigerian categories. Warm introductions, not cold pitches.

EU compliance preparation

EUDR for relevant goods, organic and fair-trade where applicable, labelling, traceability documentation — handled before the first PO.

Payment-security structuring

Letters of credit, escrow, staged terms — making sure both sides have the security they need to commit.

Logistics realities

Lagos, Tema, Apapa ports; trusted freight forwarders; realistic lead-time and cost mapping.

Frequently asked

Do you charge upfront or on success?

Engagement-based. Typically a retainer that covers diagnostic, supplier/buyer matching, and structuring — with success milestones built in. We do not work pure commission for first-time corridors.

How do I prove product quality to a European buyer who's never met me?

Combination of third-party lab testing, sample-order QC by EU-side partners, video factory walkthroughs, and certifications appropriate to your category. We map the right proof stack for your product.

What's the EUDR and does it apply to my product?

The EU Deforestation Regulation requires due-diligence proof for commodities including cocoa, coffee, palm oil, soy, rubber, cattle, and wood. If your product is covered, traceability documentation is non-negotiable. We tell you exactly what is required.

How long does a first deal take from intro to shipment?

120–180 days is realistic for a properly structured first corridor — longer than Egypt or Morocco because of additional compliance lift and documentation complexity. Faster timelines usually mean cut corners.

Do you work with cooperatives or only single exporters?

Both. Cooperatives often have the supply scale European buyers want; the engagement structure adapts to the governance model.

Can you help me attend trade fairs in Europe?

We do not run fair-attendance services as a primary offering. We do introduce qualified exporters to European partners directly, which is usually faster and cheaper.
