About
Trade between continents,
built on trust.
Mercatora is a small, independent B2B platform. We help European and African companies find each other — without the noise of algorithm-driven marketplaces, and without the cost of traditional brokers.
Why Mercatora exists
Cross-border B2B sourcing is broken. Buyers waste weeks comparing unverified profiles on bloated marketplaces. Suppliers waste budget on cold outreach that goes nowhere. The companies that would actually be a great fit never meet each other.
Mercatora exists to remove that friction. We keep our network small and our process human. When a brief comes in, a real person reads it and reaches out only to suppliers who genuinely fit. That's the entire product.
How we work
Human-curated, not auto-matched
A real person reviews every brief and hand-picks suppliers from our network. No black-box algorithm.
Verified, not crowdsourced
Every supplier passes a manual review before joining. We re-check certifications regularly.
Independent, not aligned
We're an intermediary, not an agent. We don't take commissions from suppliers — so we recommend who actually fits, not who pays most.
European-Africa focused
We specialise in cross-border trade between European buyers and African producers — both directions.
