Make the evidence
behind a business clearer.

Africa-wide focus. Country-specific requirements.

Our Africa-wide focus includes Zimbabwe, South Africa and Botswana in Southern Africa; Nigeria and Ghana in West Africa; and the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of the Congo in Central Africa, alongside countries across East and North Africa. Documented field activity in Uganda, the UK and Denmark describes where conversations and visits took place; it is not evidence of completed export sales or operating offices in every focus country.

Agricultural potential. Evidence buyers can use.

Fertile growing areas, diverse climates and varied growing seasons support Africa’s potential across coffee, cocoa, tea, fresh produce, nuts and other crops. Organic food production offers further opportunities when farming practices and certification meet the destination market’s requirements. Crossgates helps suppliers organise the evidence behind origin, production and product claims.

Working together to grow Africa’s agricultural export economy

Our aim is to work with government bodies, certifiers, regulators, institutions and other stakeholders to help grow Africa’s agricultural export economy. We are actively reaching out to offices and organisations to explore partnerships, connect supplier preparation with relevant requirements, and support more informed buyer decisions.

What the platform is for

Help suppliers organise business and product records. Help buyers examine identity, document status and unresolved questions. Help institutions design practical preparation programmes and measure documented progress.
