A South African company, Berfin, is looking to expand trade to Nigeria. The Cape Town-based food exporter will form part of a 20-member strong delegation of South African companies the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) will lead to Ghana and Nigeria on a trade mission from March 20-25.
Senior Marketing Manager at Berfin, Portia Schippers, is enthusiastic ahead of the mission. She said any business that wishes to export their products and services should take advantage of the mission to West Africa.
“It is an opportunity to check the market and see if the market can be valuable for one’s products. Most people still think that Africa has nothing to offer, but that is not true,” said Schippers.
Berfin is a local company specialising in the manufacturing of dried fruit, juices, cooking sauces, condiments, spices and other products.
