About Us

Real Sources Africa connects African SMEs to global markets so that they can realize their full potential as the next frontier in global trade by addressing challenges that hinder access, rapid transactions, and growth such as red tape, lack of trust, logistical challenges, finances, last mile distribution, and market intelligence.
Our work at Real Sources is to remove these barriers by assembling all the resources needed by the businesses under one platform providing seamless connection with buyers across the Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and global markets.
While businesses focus on producing authentic African products, Real Sources Africa handles everything else, ensuring they get fair prices in ready markets. The platform offers access to markets, logistics, resources, and partners—all at the click of a button.
