About Us
The Story Behind AfoMarket
There’s a particular taste that stays with you no matter how far from home you go. The rich, earthy flavor of fresh garri. The aroma of Nigerian spices filling your kitchen. The comfort of cooking the meals that remind you of family dinners back home.
AfoMarket was born from a simple frustration: Nigerians living abroad shouldn’t have to compromise on authenticity just because they’re thousands of miles away from Lagos, Onitsha, Kano or Benin City.
Our name is inspired by Afo, one of the four traditional market days in Nigeria. Just as Afo market brought together vendors from across the region, all gathering in one centralized place to sell their produce; AfoMarket does the same thing digitally. We’ve created a centralized platform where trusted Nigerian food suppliers come together to reach diaspora customers worldwide. The tradition continues, just reimagined for the modern world.
Our Mission
We’re on a mission to bridge the gap between home and abroad. To give you access to the genuine, Nigerian food products you crave, without the hassle of searching multiple stores, without settling for subpar alternatives, and without paying inflated prices.
AfoMarket connects you directly with trusted Nigerian suppliers who understand quality, freshness, and authenticity. We’ve personally vetted each vendor to ensure that what arrives at your door is exactly what you’d find at your favorite Nigerian market.
