These programs are designed to create direct, high-quality commercial connections between verified African suppliers of coffee, tea, herbs, and spices, and professional importers, distributors, roasters, and brands across Norway and the wider Nordic region.
To ensure that every session or contact sent is efficient, relevant, and commercially valuable, we pre-qualify both suppliers and buyers before confirming participation.
This short questionnaire helps us understand your capabilities, requirements, and readiness, so we only introduce you to partners that are a genuine business fit.
