  US Retailers Provide Extraordinary Support to African Women Exporters
  WorldWomenTradeFair.com - May 13, 2008
  

  (PRNewsChannel) / Los Angeles, Calif. – African women handicrafts exporters say they lack the export working capital and the information they need to develop product lines that appeal to US buyers and consumers.

  “Making quality products is not enough," says Yemis Ajayi, owner of Arisimi Designs Nigeria. “It is the suppliers-buyers relationship that is the key to helping African women entrepreneurs to succeed in the US market. Export working capital is a major barrier to us and it is understandable if buyers are reluctant to pre-pay for products because they're not certain if they will receive their products.”

  US retailers like Eleanor Path, owner of Santa Monica Gallery Acapillow is among a select group of US retailers providing extraordinary support to African Women Exporters from arranging favorable payment terms, product development and placing consistent orders.

  “I am very excited to see our handcrafted ethnic beaded necklaces on display in the beautiful antique mahogany glass case in Acapillow gallery," says Dorothy Taro, owner of Dorostel Kenya. "I am very thankful to Eleanor and Margaret Galabe for the training I received at the gallery on new designs, trends, and developing a product line. I am extremely happy with the exposure."

  Because of the arrangement, Dorothy Taro sold nine boxes of handicrafts to another retailer. The business linkage occured at the International Handcrafted Gifts and Home Textile Expo in Santa Monica, hosted by the World Women Trade Fair.

  The mission of the World Women Trade Fair (www.worldwomentradefair.com) is to provide economic opportunities to women living in third-world countries and to assist them to gradually build a broad-based market.

  At the Expo, were other African women exporters who are now looking forward to increasing their exports.

  For example, Jane Kiunsi from the Federation of Women Entrepreneur Tanzania has been busy sourcing pre-export financing to fill the large order request from US retailers for her beautiful intricate woven baskets.

  Estelle Ratanga, owner of Facette Creations from Gabon is happy with the support that she is receiving from Patricia Jackson “distributor of African dolls.” Patricia Jackson is working with Ratanga to distribute her African dolls-starting by developing a brand, producing a new line of dolls in various sizes and groupings, a story line, and hand-sewn doll clothes which can be sold separately.

  “I am amazed, says Ratanga. "It is important to have a buyer who is able to educate you and work with you to reach your goals.”

  “Our biggest challenge is financing," says Dorothy Tarro, who is setting up a project in Kenya to produce eco-green table wares using sisal grass. "Our products are attractive to US buyers because of the African Growth and Opportunity Act trade agreement which allows for duty-free and tariff –free for over 6000 products from African into the USA.”

  “Making quality products is not enough," says Yemis Ajayi, owner of Arisimi Designs Nigeria. “It is the suppliers-buyers relationship that is the key to helping African women entrepreneurs to succeed in the US market. Export working capital is a major barrier to us and it is understandable if buyers are reluctant to pre-pay for products because they're not certain if they will receive their products.”

  US retailers like Eleanor Path, owner of Santa Monica Gallery Acapillow is among a select group of US retailers providing extraordinary support to African Women Exporters from arranging favorable payment terms, product development and placing consistent orders.

  “I am very excited to see our handcrafted ethnic beaded necklaces on display in the beautiful antique mahogany glass case in Acapillow gallery," says Dorothy Taro, owner of Dorostel Kenya. "I am very thankful to Eleanor and Margaret Galabe for the training I received at the gallery on new designs, trends, and developing a product line. I am extremely happy with the exposure."

  Because of the arrangement, Dorothy Taro sold nine boxes of handicrafts to another retailer. The business linkage occured at the International Handcrafted Gifts and Home Textile Expo in Santa Monica, hosted by the World Women Trade Fair.

  The mission of the World Women Trade Fair (www.worldwomentradefair.com) is to provide economic opportunities to women living in third-world countries and to assist them to gradually build a broad-based market.

  At the Expo, were other African women exporters who are now looking forward to increasing their exports.

  For example, Jane Kiunsi from the Federation of Women Entrepreneur Tanzania has been busy sourcing pre-export financing to fill the large order request from US retailers for her beautiful intricate woven baskets.

  Estelle Ratanga, owner of Facette Creations from Gabon is happy with the support that she is receiving from Patricia Jackson “distributor of African dolls.” Patricia Jackson is working with Ratanga to distribute her African dolls-starting by developing a brand, producing a new line of dolls in various sizes and groupings, a story line, and hand-sewn doll clothes which can be sold separately.

  “I am amazed, says Ratanga. "It is important to have a buyer who is able to educate you and work with you to reach your goals.”

  “Our biggest challenge is financing," says Dorothy Tarro, who is setting up a project in Kenya to produce eco-green table wares using sisal grass. "Our products are attractive to US buyers because of the African Growth and Opportunity Act trade agreement which allows for duty-free and tariff –free for over 6000 products from African into the USA.”

  (PRNewsChannel) / Los Angeles, Calif. – African women handicrafts exporters say they lack the export working capital and the information they need to develop product lines that appeal to US buyers and consumers.

  “Making quality products is not enough," says Yemis Ajayi, owner of Arisimi Designs Nigeria. “It is the suppliers-buyers relationship that is the key to helping African women entrepreneurs to succeed in the US market. Export working capital is a major barrier to us and it is understandable if buyers are reluctant to pre-pay for products because they're not certain if they will receive their products.”

  Good Cuase Buying to Empower the Poor

  World Women Trade Fair Hosts Expo that Celebrates World Culture and Economic Independence
  Published: Fri, 14 Dec 2007, 08:49:57 GMT Edited by Liisa Sullivan

  SANTA MONICA, Calif. - Dec. 14 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- For the first-time ever, the folks who live in Santa Monica and surrounding areas, will get a taste of third-world culture at the International Handcrafted Gifts and Home Textile Expo to be held on January 20 and 21 at the Santa Monica Doubletree Hilton.

  "This is the fourth year that we have sponsored the Expo," Margaret Galabe, Executive Director, World Women Trade Fair, said. "These events have been very successful in the past and this is the first year that we are hosting it in Santa Monica. In the past, we have hosted it in various cities in the U.S. and the U.K. and we expect at least 3,000-5,000 people to attend."

  The mission of the World Women Trade Fair (www.worldwomentradefair.com) is to provide economic opportunities to women living in third-world countries and to assist them to gradually build a broad-based market. In addition, the World Women Trade Fair offers U.S. market-orientation training which is a component of their Global Market Access Initiative offering skills training and information to access global markets.

  "Learning how to be successful in global markets is key," Galabe explained, "but, it is also important to the artisans to produce unique, quality, handcrafted products that reflect and retain their heritage. We are able to assist them in the production of these fine crafts."

  At the Expo, World Women Trade Fair will have 50 vendors from over 20 countries represented. For example, a small country, Uzbekistan, a land-locked country in Central Asia that was formerly part of the Soviet Union, sits on the ancient Silk Road between China and the West. A vendor from Uzbekistan will present suzane silk decorative embroidery that dates back to the Temurid Empire period of the 14th and 15th centuries. After the collapse of the former Soviet Union, the women of Uzbekistan revived their lost traditional weaving and embroidery skills to create jobs and to re-build their communities.

  Other countries include, but are not limited to: Afghanistan, Bolivia, Nepal, Kenya, Mexico, Vietnam and South Africa. Products for sale range from intricately-beaded jewelry and dolls to handcrafted wood models and elaborately-woven baskets.

  Admission to the event is free. For more information, visit: www.worldwomentradefair.com or call: 661-456-2286.
