AFEX

SAFIN member

AFEX is a pan-African organization championing efficient trade and wealth creation through the commodities market in Africa. We run a platform business that works through key pillars of infrastructure, markets, and capital. By addressing food system challenges, we generate impact that flows to the bottom of the pyramid, improving both individual livelihoods and national fortunes. Our technology systems underlie a drive for sustainability and transparency as we build out both sides of the commodities market to enable a seamless exchange of value. Through the deployment of an efficient market system, we will facilitate trade with Africa worth over USD 2 Billion in the next 10 years.
