What exactly does a 20 foot container mean to Africa | Tonye Membere-Otaji | TEDxApapa
Tonye Membere-Otaji’s idea focused on trade imbalances as well as trade finance inadequacies across the African continent. It was instructive to learn that for every 10 containers imported into Nigeria, Africa, nine of such containers are exported empty. In other words, 90% of shipping containers leaving Africa to other parts of the world, are leaving without cargo.
The presentation provided new perspectives about Africa’s approach to global trade and how Africa can win by getting its products to the international market and easing access to trade finance opportunities for entrepreneurs and startups.
