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.
US Section 122 tariff surcharge on Africa lapses, restoring AGOA duty-free access
Following the US Supreme Court's February 2026 ruling against the administration, the White House imposed new across-the-board rates of 10 percent, but these were limited by statute to 150 days and automatically lapsed on 24 July, restoring duty-free access under AGOA. Reporting notes AGOA countries' exports to the US fell by roughly 10 percent after tariffs were imposed in August 2025 versus the 2023–2024 average, with front-loading of exports ahead of tariff dates, and that AGOA was reauthorized through 2026 after expiring in September 2025.
tariffsChina reports record H1 China-Africa trade three months into zero-tariff regime
According to China's Consul-General in Lagos, three-and-a-half months after implementing the zero-tariff policy (effective 1 May 2026), China-Africa two-way trade in the first half of 2026 totalled US$207.4 billion, a record high for the first half of a year. The policy grants zero-tariff treatment to imports from the 53 African countries with diplomatic ties to China (all except Eswatini), and for non-LDCs it runs from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2028. The Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria outlined priorities including continuous improvement of product quality and supply chain stability, meeting Chinese market standards, and ensuring reliable supply volumes.
logisticsDurban port congestion persists with 5–9 day delays at Pier 2 amid NAVIS rollout
As of the 12–18 August 2026 reporting week, Durban's Pier 2 (DGT) continued to experience delays of 5–9 days driven by congestion, NAVIS system implementation and increased waterside waiting times, with 7-day average vessel waiting around 4.25 days and anchorage delays of 80–166 hours. Mombasa waiting times had eased to about 1.63 days but equipment shortages, high transhipment volumes and vessel bunching still impacted productivity. Beira in Mozambique showed a 7-day average vessel waiting time of about 16.11 days, with recovery expected later in the year.
