 The need for streamlined supply chain management is undeniably needed across Africa, and blockchain technology promises to revolutionize the siloed systems that consume not only time and resources but also slow down the continent’s developments.

 The IOTA Foundation began its venture into the African continent through the East African community, a growing economic bloc led by the Kenyan market, through a formal partnership with TradeMark East Africa (TMEA). Through the collaboration between the two entities, the challenges of digitizing the export process of different goods including flowers. 
 Interestingly, research conducted by TMEA found that in a single transaction, an African entrepreneur was completing an average of 200 communications – including 96 paper documents, thus complicating the entire process.&nbsp;&nbsp;José Manuel Cantera, Technical Analyst and Project Lead at IOTA Foundation noted. 
 <blockquote> 
 As a result, the system developed by the IOTA Foundation and TMEA anchors the key trade documents on the Tangle and shares them with customs in destination countries. This expedites the export process and makes African companies more competitive globally. 
 </blockquote> 
 Technically, the IOTA network is used to record every single event that takes place in a supply chain. Integrating data across a supply chain is crucial as there are different parties involved in the entire process. Verification of each identity is critical to preserving the authenticity and credibility of the entire supply chain management. 
 The IOTA network is used to eliminate the need for third-party trustees and efficiently enable traceability with compliance. For instance, cross-border traders are compelled to work with complex relations between several agencies and parties. Moreover, a cross-border trader has to deal with financial procedures, trade procedures, transportation procedures, and regulatory procedures.

 We are allowing different actors, different government agencies, and the private actors (traders) to share documents and to verify documents in one shot.
