ITG Industries
ITG equips farms, cooperatives and processors with machinery and inputs matched to crop, scale and climate — with training materials and spare parts planned from the start.
What we source in this sector
Türkiye supplies greenhouse systems (Antalya cluster), irrigation and agricultural machinery with strong Africa experience. China provides fertilizer lines, drip systems from Shandong, and post-harvest equipment; ITG also runs dedicated fertilizer sourcing programmes.
Fertilizers move under destination registration and analysis certificates per batch, with clear nutrient declarations; machinery follows the same CE/FAT discipline as industrial lines. Seasonality is compliance too: a late permit is a lost season.
Everything is planted around the season calendar: inputs are ordered backwards from field dates, consolidations are timed to planting windows, and inland delivery to up-country stores is part of the plan, not an afterthought.
Mixed project cargo: machinery as FCL or breakbulk, inputs and small equipment via consolidation.
Representative project types illustrate the scope of work ITG performs in this sector; they are not claims about specific named clients.
China's zero-tariff regime for 53 African countries shows early export gains three months in
Since 1 May 2026 China has applied zero-tariff treatment to imports from all 53 African countries with which it has diplomatic relations (excluding Eswatini), covering 100% of tariff lines; for 20 non-LDC states the measure runs through 30 April 2028. Reporting on 15 August 2026 stated that three and a half months in, African exporters were reporting stronger sales and new market access, citing Chinese customs data and industry accounts, including Zimbabwe's first blueberry consignment to China in July. Bilateral trade in the first half of 2026 reached about 1.41 trillion yuan (roughly $209 billion). Analysts note that lasting success depends on whether African producers can meet Chinese quality, packaging and certification standards.

China's Foreign Ministry reported that China–Africa two-way trade reached a record US$197 billion in the first half of 2026. During May and June, the first two months after China's zero-tariff treatment for 53 African countries took effect on 1 May, China's imports from Africa rose 23.5% year on year to around US$27 billion. Around three quarters of Chinese exports to African markets consist of capital and intermediate goods such as machinery, industrial equipment, components and production materials.
