We are committed to helping our clients successfully integrate their products with United States supply chain systems, no matter what type of business they are developing. We believe that technology has opened up new opportunities for small and midsize businesses to enter mainstream global supply chain systems, and we are committed to helping our clients take advantage of these opportunities.
Our expertise in supply chain integration has been particularly helpful for African exporters looking to trade with their US counterparts.

We believe that the integration of supply chains is key to unlocking new opportunities for African businesses, and we are committed to helping our clients succeed in the global marketplace.

The African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) was signed into law on May 18, 2000 as Title 1 of The Trade and Development Act of 2000. The Act offers tangible incentives for African countries to continue their efforts to open their economies and build free markets. President Bush signed amendments to AGOA, also known as AGOA II, into law on August 6, 2002 as Sec. 3108 of the Trade Act of 2002. AGOA II substantially expands preferential access for imports from beneficiary Sub-Saharan African countries. https://www.trade.gov/agoa/resources.asp

The cornerstone of U.S. economic relations with sub-Saharan Africa since 2000 has been the African Growth and Opportunity Act, or AGOA.
