Connecting Verified Commodity Suppliers with European Buyers

June19 is a curated trade commodity trade facilitator connecting European buyers with pre-vetted African suppliers. We serve businesses on both sides of the corridor. Buyers who need reliable suppliers and suppliers who are ready to deliver it. Our service is build on quality.

June19 Nigeria Limited is a curated commodity trade facilitator. We exist to make cross-border commerce between verified African suppliers and European buyers more reliable, more transparent, and more efficient, for both sides of every transaction.

We are not a directory, a platform, or an open marketplace. We are a trusted facilitator with physical presence in both Europe and Nigeria, deep knowledge of African commodity supply chains, and a clear understanding of what European buyers need and expect.

Incorporated in Nigeria in 2012 and with a base in Malmö, Sweden, we sit uniquely at the intersection of two continents. That dual perspective, understanding African supply markets and European import standards simultaneously, is our most important asset.

WHO WE ARE

A Curated Commodity Trade Facilitator

June19 was built on a simple but powerful observation: the gap between African commodity supply capacity and European buyer confidence is not a product problem, it is a trust and information problem.

African suppliers produce world class agricultural goods: ginger, hibiscus, sesame, cashew, soybean, and much more. But breaking into European markets requires more than a quality product. It requires relationships, credibility, demonstrated compliance with EU standards, and the ability to navigate buyer expectations that are often unfamiliar.

On the other side, European buyers who want to source from Africa often find the process frustrating and risky. Due diligence is difficult across borders. Deals fail. And the buyer moves on, concluding that African sourcing is simply too difficult.

OUR STORY

Built on a Simple Observation

"We didn't start in a boardroom. We started on the ground and that is where we still operate."

A Curated Network

June19 is not an open platform where anyone can register, list their products, and hope for the best. We deliberately operate as a curated, relationship-driven network — because in cross-border trade between Africa and Europe, quality of connection matters far more than quantity.

For Buyers:

You receive fewer options — but the right ones. Every supplier we recommend has been personally assessed for product quality, operational capacity, EU export compliance, and reliability. We say no to suppliers who are not ready, so you don't have to find that out the hard way.

For Suppliers:

Access to buyers is earned through genuine readiness, not just registration. We invest time in understanding your business before we ever introduce you to a buyer — because your credibility and ours are on the line with every match we make.

With offices in Malmö, Sweden and Abuja & Jos, Nigeria, we operate on both sides of the Africa-Europe trade corridor.
