That\u2019s when it hit me: the world is already selling the same goods, but not every market is saturated. So I opened a map, looking for where the next opportunity could be. Southeast Asia is too close and it&#8217;s too crowded. Western markets are expensive and competitive. Africa, though, felt unexplored. So I decided to go see it for myself.

I wanted to figure out what the African market was really worth doing because only if it was worth it, we would invest more money.\u00a0<\/p><p>When those 500 shop owners told me what they wanted, I was really shocked. It literally covered every part of life \u2014 food, clothes, daily goods, everything you can imagine. Many of them were very basic but huge in demand. For example, Africa bans plastic bags by law, so they wanted non-woven bags. But locally they don\u2019t have textile factories, so the materials and machines all have to be imported.\u00a0<\/p><p>At the same time, I was comparing product price gaps and learning how local distributors sell.

come easy. It is not about having the lowest price, but about the fact that most people simply do not trust you at first. Sometimes, I\u2019d take a ten-hour local bus ride just to meet one client in person, not even sure if the deal would happen. But the fact that I showed up, spending a full day just to see them, often made the difference. That is how relationships grow here, slowly, face to face, one by one.\u00a0<\/p><p>Some of my local clients have told me directly that they know many Chinese people are doing business here, but they just cannot trust them. Their internet and payment systems are not very developed, so if they get scammed, it is almost impossible to get their money back. Many of them have been cheated before. They paid, and then when the shipment arrived, half of the container was full of bad products.\u00a0<\/p><p>For them, doing business means meeting in person and spending a long time getting to know each other before placing more orders. This process takes months, sometimes longer. For a small company like ours, that means investing a lot of time and cost to build each relationship slowly. Unlike big can buy exposure, we build relationships one by one. Every client we earn, we keep, because we take the time to grow that trust.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b11dbcc elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b11dbcc\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-59fe5fd\" data-id=\"59fe5fd\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-39ef6ff elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"39ef6ff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Sharing my supply chain brings orders<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e2acbaa elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e2acbaa\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ae30a54\" data-id=\"ae30a54\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4ad75fd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4ad75fd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>I used to work in event planning, so I understand how to connect people. While many sellers prefer to hide their business information, I do the opposite. Once I find a good product, I invite local traders to small gatherings. I share openly where our goods come from, how they are shipped, and even how they can reduce import taxes. It is a very open way to do business, but it works.\u00a0<\/p><p>In return, they also help me. For example, import duties can be as high as 25%, but if we have a local receiver or a guarantor who is an African partner, the rate can drop. To reach that level of cooperation, they must really trust you. So I often organize small meetups just to share useful information, not to sell. I tell them, \u201cIf I were 40 or 50, maybe you should be cautious. But I am still young and just trying to build something real. Why not trust that?\u201d That honesty always makes people smile.\u00a0<\/p><p>Over time, those small gatherings turned into strong partnerships. And for bigger clients, the rule is still the same: stable quality, fair prices, and reliable supply. Some Chinese traders in Africa resell factory surplus or off-grade goods, but when I bring products directly from the production line at competitive prices, everyone wants to work with me.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ca1fcfa elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ca1fcfa\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-27e9a0a\" data-id=\"27e9a0a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ebd8008 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"ebd8008\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-90f8416 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"90f8416\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3964b38\" data-id=\"3964b38\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-99045b8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"99045b8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"a4\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Skip the Middlemen: Source Direct from China<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-06cfc84 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"06cfc84\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-15a05e2\" data-id=\"15a05e2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-06e4066 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"06e4066\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In many African countries, the wholesale system is still dominated by Indian merchants.
