This virtual pre-tour engagement serves as an introductory platform for prospective buyers to explore industrial sourcing opportunities in Benin, specifically within the Glo-Djigbé Industrial Zone (GDIZ) managed by ARISE IIP. Participants will gain first-hand insights into the manufacturing capabilities, product offerings, and export readiness of suppliers operating in key sectors including Agro-processing (with a focus on Cashew), Textiles & Garments, and Ceramics.

The session will also provide an overview of the African Buyers Programme (ABP) and the African Buyers Tour Programme (ABTP), highlighting how these initiatives are structured to connect African buyers with high-quality continental supply through facilitated tours, matchmaking, and access to trade-enabling tools.
