KnocKnockAfrica: A One-Stop Shop to an African Experience.
We continue to register vendors for KnocKnockAfrica (www.kkafrica.com). If you are an SME, entrepreneur, producer or manufacturer, creating quality products in Africa, or source 50% of the materials from Africa but manufacture in the USA, or create Africa inspired products; register on KnocKnockAfrica platform to access North American consumers. Unlike any other platform, KnocKnockafrica is dedicated to making the process seamless and effective, in addition to showcasing the variety of African sourced products and goods. KnocKnockAfrica is designed to be a marketplace of products and goods that will soon be accessible to consumers in North America.
We invite you to share it with your network, as this is a journey we look to do together with each and everyone of you! For more information, please contact Abigail Simmons at abigail@afrolehar.com or Brook Makonnen at brook@afrolehar.com.

Why we created agrifrica.com? Agrifrica (www.agrifrica.com) is a membership-based platform that focuses in three sectors: Agribusiness, Energy and Environment. To develop Africa’s infrastructure these three sectors are pivotal to the continent’s growth, therefore we created this platform to have a centralized and relevant information, establish linkages between projects and funders, and share the most timely and impactful programs and initiatives that strengthen US-African relations in agribusiness, energy and environment.
