Why isn't everything at Africa Imports made in Africa?
Most of what you find here is made in Africa; but
some other products are made in other countries.
The country of origin is shown in the product description for everything we have to offer. So you can always find out where something is made. There are several reasons why we offer some products made in other places. The main reason is that our customers want many of these items. A significant goal of our business is to help our customers have what they want.
Another reason is that offering some of these products made in other
parts of the world helps our wholesale customers get new customers for their
business. Even though some things are made in different parts of the world,
they can often still communicate the culture and heritage of Africa. Sometimes
they are priced lower, so that more people can own what is offered and help
our wholesale customers to be able to reach a broader audience.
What is our company mission?
You may wonder how we can sell products from other
countries and still have a mission of supporting communities in Africa. The
reason this works is simple. It is because selling these products causes us to
sell more African-made products that many customers may not notice otherwise.
As long as giving customers more options increases sales of the African-made
products, we are meeting our company goals. More African communities will be
supported through the sales of the things that they make. If sales of African
products were to slow down because we were offering non-African made products,
we would definitely stop adding the non-African made products. Because not everything offered by
Africa Imports is made in Africa, we also support several orphanages in Africa
with the profits that come from these other products.

More about the African and non-African products
We require that products made in other parts of
the world sell especially well in order for us to keep selling them. We have
very low price mark-ups on most African made products. There are a number of
African made products that would lose money if we did not offer non-African
made products as well. By offering larger selections, you can order some
African made products that would not be available otherwise.
Africa Imports exists to help people and
communities in Africa prosper. By selling more African-made goods, there are
more communities in Africa that are able to grow in their industry; and more
craftspeople in Africa can support themselves while carrying on African
traditions. Each time you purchase an African-made product, someone in Africa
is supported in their work. We appreciate your business no matter what you
order, but we hope that you will consider African-made products in a special
way, because of the good that results when you purchase from them.
