Consultancy Services
EuroAfri Link (EAL) offers a range of consultancy services to facilitate trade and exchange programs between agribusiness producers and students in Africa and European markets and institutions, with a specific focus on customers in the Netherlands. The consultancy specializes in building bridges to connect European entrepreneurs with African agribusinesses, including small, medium, and large enterprises, cooperatives, associations, NGOs, organisations, students, and professionals. Our main goal is to support these organisations in the development of their business to address the global marketplace.
Business Development Advisory
EuroAfri Link provides advisory services tailored to smallholder groups, especially women and young people engaged in agriculture production in African countries like Cameroon, Ghana, Tanzania, and Malawi to name these few. The consultancy aims to enhance the capacity of these groups to meet international standards and compete effectively in the global market.
Market Linkages
EuroAfri Link specializes in linking African agribusinesses to markets. By leveraging its network and expertise, the consultancy facilitates connections between producers and buyers based on EU standards and documentation requirements. To bridge this gap between buyer and seller, EAL creates a sales channel for the EU to value producer products better. Also, there are organised visits to buyers so that sellers and producers can hear from them directly.
Training and Capacity Building
EAL advises, trains, and supports African agrifood producers and farmers’ organisations in producing products that meet European standards in food safety, food defense, loading conditions, and quality assurance certificates and standards needed for export and purchasing conditions. Thus, EAL is the trader to bridge the gap between Africa and Europe in international business.
Through skill development initiatives, the consultancy helps businesses enhance their competitiveness and access new opportunities in international markets. EAL customizes its training programs based on the specific product that the seller wants to sell, or the buyer is looking for. To benefit properly from international trade, EAL helps raise standards and understanding about quality levels, documentation, pricing, and branding of products for EU standards. This is to ensure that when products are shipped from Africa to the ports of destination in Europe, this is done knowing both producers and importers understand what wholesale buyers and end consumers in Europe are looking for.
Trade Finance Assistance
EuroAfri Link helps businesses secure trade finance and working capital to support their export activities. This support service helps streamline the procurement process for importers – assuming, of course that producers meet the criteria for exporting to international markets.
Project Management Support
EuroAfri Link offers project management assistance to ensure the smooth implementation of trade-related initiatives, student exchange programs, and designing Export training manuals. From brokering deals to coordinating logistics, the consultancy plays a vital role in facilitating successful business partnerships between African producers and European buyers.
