Africa's trade potential starts within Africa
TradePilot is built on a simple belief: that African agricultural SMEs should be able to find each other, trade with each other, and access the knowledge to do it well.
“Intra-African trade accounts for less than 15% of the continent's total trade.”
Africa grows what Africa needs. Sesame in Tanzania, cashew in Côte d'Ivoire, cocoa in Ghana, shea in Nigeria. But too much of that trade still moves through intermediaries outside the continent before it reaches the buyer next door.
The knowledge to trade directly — who to call, what certifications to get, how to price a shipment — has always been locked away behind expensive consultants most SMEs can't afford.
TradePilot exists to change that. Built by Fluna, supported by Afreximbank, and grounded in African expertise.
Built for every farmer with a buyer across the border
Our users are agricultural commodity traders across Africa — sesame, cashew, cocoa, shea butter, dried fruits, spices, and more. From Lagos to Lusaka, Dakar to Dar es Salaam.
They have products the market wants. What they need is practical, instant guidance: which markets are ready for their commodity, what paperwork is required, how to structure a deal.
TradePilot gives them that — in plain language, in seconds, for free.

Built on African data, by African experts
TradePilot is trained on a dataset that doesn't exist anywhere else. We've conducted hundreds of hours of interviews with trade specialists, commodity exporters, and market experts across Africa. We've built proprietary research, real corridor data, and institutional knowledge from dozens of sources spanning East, West, North, and Southern Africa.
This isn't a generic AI trained on the public internet. It's the first trade advisor built specifically on what actually works in African markets — the shortcuts, the pitfalls, the relationships, the realities that no public dataset captures.
