Frequently asked questions
Everything about the mumafrica African B2B marketplace and AI supplier search.
What is mumafrica?
mumafrica is an African B2B marketplace that helps international buyers find manufacturers, exporters, distributors and importers across Africa using AI supplier search.
How does the AI supplier search work?
Describe the product you need in plain language — for example "organic shea butter from Ghana". The AI searches for real companies supplying that exact product, filters out directories and unrelated results, and shows supplier cards you can contact.
Is mumafrica free for buyers?
Yes. Searching is free: guests get 20 searches per day and free accounts 20 searches per month. Revealing a supplier's contact details uses credits, and new accounts receive free credits on signup.
Is it free for African suppliers to list their business?
Yes. Suppliers can create a free Business Profile with their products, photos, prices, MOQs, WhatsApp, phone, email, website and social links.
Do suppliers get their own link and QR code?
Yes. Every Business Profile gets its own link (mumafrica.com/store/your-company) and a downloadable QR code to share on WhatsApp, business cards, packaging and at trade fairs.
Which countries and products are covered?
mumafrica covers suppliers across Africa, including Egypt, Morocco, Kenya, Ethiopia, Ghana, Nigeria and Côte d'Ivoire, in categories such as textiles and denim, coffee, cocoa, fresh produce, olive oil, cosmetics and natural ingredients.
How is mumafrica different from traditional B2B directories?
Instead of browsing long directory listings, you ask for exactly what you need and the AI finds matching suppliers. Suppliers also get a mobile-friendly profile they can share directly with their own customers.
How should I verify a supplier before ordering?
Request company registration and export documents, ask for samples, compare several quotes and use secure payment terms for first orders. Always do your own due diligence.
Which languages does mumafrica support?
mumafrica is available in English, Arabic and French, and the AI replies in the language you start chatting in.
