E-commerce platform launches into Ghana and Zambia

DP World recently announced the continued expansion of its e-commerce platform Dubuy.com in Africa, with launches in both Ghana and Zambia.

The latest roll-out of the wholesale marketplace opens access to global supply chains for even more African businesses.

Dubuy.com provides advanced technology and secure transactions for wholesale traders, connecting them safely and efficiently to international markets. These digital tools are underpinned by DP World’s robust physical infrastructure across Africa, such as the port at Maputo and its connections with East and South Africa.

On the West Coast, DP World currently offers port-centric logistics solutions through Senegal and Angola.

With Dubuy.com already offered in the UAE, Tanzania, Rwanda and Kenya, the latest launches demonstrate DP World’s continued commitment to creating strategic trading gateways for the region, both physically and digitally, a press statement noted.

“Dubuy.com continues to offer African businesses new ways to trade and expand. The latest launches connect our users with even more opportunities for growth,” stated Mahmood Al Bastaki, COO, Dubai Trade. DP World UAE recently announced the signing of two new development projects with multinational agricultural commodity processors, strengthening the F&B cluster and capabilities within Jebel Ali in Dubai.

The new integrated quayside facilities will enhance year-round availability and production of essential grains and pulses.

The signing ceremony was attended by Abdulla bin Damithan, CEO & Managing Director, DP World UAE and Jafza; Yogesh Raipuria, CEO, Adroit Canada; Yasin Abdul Majid Ranani, Managing Director, Al Amir Foods; and other officials from the entities.

DP World UAE’s Food and Agriculture Terminal at the Jebel Ali Port has positioned Dubai as a key gateway for global trade in the F&B sector. With an estimated investment of AED 200mn, the facilities will have a singular eco-system for bulk silo storage and agri-processing.

“Most importantly, through these projects, we hope to support the “Make it in the Emirates” initiative and Operation 300bn, which aims to raise the industrial sector’s contribution to AED 300bn by 2031,” affirmed Bin Damithan.

“Our successful collaboration started from our presence in Jafza and continues with our new agri-facility in Jebel Ali,” commented Raipuria.

“Our new facility in the Jebel Ali Port will serve as a gateway to the world, expanding our reach and preparing us to meet the demands of the rapidly growing pulses market,” remarked Ranani.
