How much will it cost to make use of JamiiTrade?
During the pilot/beta phase, there won’t be any cost to use the JamiiTrade website or the information we share with the community. Over time, we will add paid-for services that you can opt in for, depending on your business needs.

We will pilot in English but aim to add more languages as we continue to roll it out.

What makes JamiiTrade different?
While information exists out there, it’s not curated in a way that addresses SMEs and MSMEs, and is not always easily understood or even accessible. JamiiTrade has one focus: SMEs and ensuring your success in cross-border trade – this will be your platform.
