Africa could be the second-largest region in terms of value of trade in four years, DHL Express Chief Executive Officer John Pearson said in an interview.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we open a new facility, warehouse, distribution center, or head office, it\u2019s because we are growing,\u201d Pearson said on Bloomberg TV on Wednesday. \u201cImport growth from China to sub-Saharan Africa is 26%. That is machinery, construction equipment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For China and other nations whose US trade has been disrupted, Africa offers a chance to diversify. Jumia Technologies AG, the continent\u2019s biggest e-commerce company, said Trump\u2019s tariffs are helping it access Chinese goods. The Asian nation\u2019s shipments to Africa surged 56% last month \u2014 the fastest since February 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Still, Africa struggles with limited infrastructure. The continent needs to invest as much as $170 billion a year to build roads and power lines.<\/p>\n<p>The African Continental Free Trade Area could energize trade, according to Pearson. DHL says it has seen more deliveries coming from smaller cities in Nigeria and Ethiopia.<\/p>\n<p>Most of DHL\u2019s Africa operations, which include warehousing, packaging, and supply-chain management, are in South Africa, Egypt, and Kenya.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Lesotho<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Lesotho.
