Proudly Made In Africa - Expert Impact

Killian Stokes,

Proudly Made In Africa

Met with Michael Frohlich

We support ready-to-retail African producers, connect international trade buyers, and promote the importance of value-added trade in poverty reduction.

We work across the entire supply chain from farm to fork and fibre to fashion, enabling communities to trade their way out of poverty by accessing international markets. We do this through building producer capacity for ethical and sustainable trade and attracting like-minded buyers.

Michael’s knowledge of the sector and experience on the continent of Africa allowed for a very thought provoking line of questioning. His enthusiasm and inquisitiveness encouraged me to realise the huge potential to make our proposition even more valuable.
