The import gap in West Africa is widening, with increasing demand for goods from abroad met by limited shipping options. This has made imports costly and unreliable, often stifling economic growth and discouraging foreign investments.

Benflip recognizes that establishing a strong local shipping industry can bridge this gap, providing West African countries with better control over their trade routes and logistics. By creating an efficient shipping infrastructure, the region can minimize disruptions, reduce lead times, and lower import costs.

West Africa’s potential is vast, but without the proper shipping infrastructure, it will remain dependent on foreign shipping companies. Benflip is working to bring these opportunities to the forefront, ensuring that local economies can thrive by having direct access to global markets.
