You have the product, we have the clients
We help European companies market their products in eight West African markets through importers and distributors whom we know personally and with whom we have been working for years. Powdered milk, rice, sugar, coffee, sardines, and many other products. You supply the product. We open the doors for you.

Entering West Africa takes years. We've already done the work
Identifying the right contacts, building trust, and negotiating terms without on-the-ground knowledge takes years.
KAMENAN ONIMBA has an active network of importers and distributors across 8 West African countries. We work directly with qualified partners who have real purchasing power. Whether you are a trader, an SME, or a large corporation — and whatever your product: powdered milk, sardines, rice, sugar, coffee, or others — we put your offer in front of the right people.
We connect. You sell.

Meet the Founder
Stéphane KAMENAN — Founder & CEO
Stéphane Kamenan is a Swiss-Ivorian commodity trader and business developer with over seven years in FMCG and five years of direct field experience in West Africa. Ivorian by origin, based in Switzerland for nearly twenty years, he understands both sides of the table: what European partners expect, and what West African counterparts don't always put in writing.
Why was KAMENAN ONIMBA created?
Because too many deals between Europe and West Africa fail, not for lack of demand, but for lack of a reliable link between the two sides. KAMENAN ONIMBA was created to be that link: a commercial bridge in both directions. The company helps European businesses sell their products (powdered milk, sardines, rice, sugar, coffee, and more) into the region and source from West Africa: cashew, cocoa butter, cocoa mass and other agricultural commodities. Field-built networks. Real cultural fluency. No guesswork, in either direction.
