The demand for African foodstuffs in Europe and America is rising due to increasing number of Africans who live there and also the use of these produce as a raw material for other processed foods. There is huge opportunity for new african exporters and producers who wishes to expand their operations to Europe.

The company needs to overcome various regulatory hurdles to be able to penetrate the EU market. The hurdles are border rejection, and mass destruction of substandard product. Therefore, an analysis is done on EU data in order to understand the risks involved.
