Challenges Facing Export Businesses in Africa

African businesses are positioned to benefit from global export markets, but challenges remain. Poor infrastructure, inconsistent government policies, and lack of financing continue to slow growth. Despite these barriers, the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) is opening new doors for cross-border collaboration.

By embracing digital payments, better logistics, and compliance with international quality standards, African exporters could unlock billions in untapped potential. The next decade may see Africa become a central hub for agricultural and mineral exports.
