Background of the Study
The African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) aims to boost intra-African trade by reducing tariffs, harmonizing trade regulations, and fostering supply chain connectivity. For companies like Olam Nigeria, operating in Kwara State, AfCFTA presents an opportunity to enhance regional supply chain efficiency by streamlining cross-border trade processes (Adedeji & Mensah, 2023).
As one of the largest trade agreements globally, AfCFTA seeks to eliminate barriers that have traditionally hindered supply chain connectivity in Africa. This study examines its role in improving Olam Nigeria's supply chain operations within the framework of AfCFTA (Okafor & Adama, 2024).
Statement of the Problem
Despite its potential benefits, the implementation of AfCFTA faces challenges, including inadequate infrastructure, inconsistent policies, and lack of awareness among stakeholders. Olam Nigeria’s operations in Kwara State provide a case study to evaluate how AfCFTA influences supply chain connectivity and the barriers to its effective adoption (Bello & Yusuf, 2023).
