AISCR-Desiderio Africa Supply Chain & Energy Bulletin Edition 6, September 2026

The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) provides the framework and the market for continental integration, but trade agreements alone do not create value chains. In Bulletin No. 6 (September 2026) of Africa Supply Chain Insights, co-published by Desiderio Consultants and AISCR, we explore how the next phase of African trade relies on connected systems spanning digital data infrastructure, seamless cross-border corridors, and shared regional production.
Key Highlights
  • EUDR & First-Mile Origin Data: Why Europe’s Deforestation Regulation is forcing a shift toward trusted digital origin infrastructure, and why first-mile data collection matters far more than blockchain technology alone.
  • Horn of Africa Trade Facilitation: How the region is moving from isolated infrastructure projects toward connected corridors, synchronized customs, and interoperable digital systems.
  • Value-Chain Sustainability & ESG Risks: Why data is becoming a strict condition for market access, and how pragmatic data standards can protect African SMEs from being excluded from global supply chains.
  • Nigeria’s Coffee Sector Squeeze: Turning local supply constraints and growing domestic demand into opportunities for local processing, quality control, and logistics upgrading.
  • Tanzania–Malawi Soybean Initiative: A practical model for moving beyond simple commodity trading toward shared regional value chains and co-located industrial processing.
