WEST AFRICA / BUSINESS SUPPORT

Connecting Japanese companies with West Africa through business.

Rirary works with local suppliers in West Africa, centered on Cote d'Ivoire, to organize import, export, supplier coordination, and market entry possibilities.

WHY WEST AFRICA

Look beyond the domestic market,
and consider growing regions.

Japanese regional companies are operating in a changing environment, including population decline, a shrinking domestic market, and rising prices and business costs. Rirary helps companies in Hokkaido and Japan consider overseas relationships and transactions as one practical option for future business development.

ROLE

Supporting both as a connector and an importer

Rirary supports business from both sides: as a connector that creates access to local suppliers and business opportunities in West Africa, and as an importer that can help bring selected products into Japan.

Japan has both sides: it imports resources and materials from overseas, and it exports products and technologies backed by the quality associated with Made in Japan. Rirary supports both directions by helping companies use West Africa as a market for collaboration, distribution, and business development.
