Good trading is logistics, relationships and margin discipline. Socabo operates registered wholesale and retail trade activities from Prague, moving goods between European and African markets — in both directions.
Exporting European goods to Africa
African buyers want European quality with a counterparty they can hold accountable. We supply machinery, equipment, vehicles, spare parts, consumer goods and other product categories from vetted European producers and distributors, and we manage the export chain: documentation, customs, freight and delivery to the destination port or door.
Because our trade activities are registered free trades, we can move across product categories as opportunities appear, rather than being locked to a single line.
Importing from Africa to Europe
Africa produces far more than Europe gives it credit for — commodities, agricultural products, raw materials and increasingly manufactured goods. We source from suppliers we have verified on the ground, and we handle the EU side: import compliance, certification requirements and distribution to European buyers.
How an engagement works
Tell us what you need to buy or sell and in what volume. We come back with a sourcing proposal — supplier options, indicative pricing, lead times — and once you approve, we handle ordering, transport and delivery. For ongoing supply we agree a simple framework so repeat orders are routine, not renegotiations.
Frequently asked questions
Which African markets do you work with?
We work across the continent through our partner network, with the strongest relationships in West, Central and Southern Africa. Ask about your specific market — if we don't have real coverage there, we'll say so.
Do you handle customs and export documentation?
Yes, on both the EU and African side, through experienced logistics and clearing partners.
Is there a minimum order size?
It depends on the goods. Cross-border engagements usually make sense from mid-size volumes; contact us with your numbers and we'll be straight about whether it's viable.
