Buyers

What We Check

The checklist changes by commodity, but the core goal is consistent: prove the seller exists, can export legally, and can support the quality claims buyers rely on.

Business identity

CAC records, beneficial ownership, operating address, contact person and account history are reviewed before approval.

Export authority

NEPC registration, mining titles, export permits and route-specific documents are checked for the seller category.

Quality evidence

Lab results, grading reports, moisture certificates, geolocation files and inspection notes are tied to live listings.

Review Flow

Sellers do not go live until the admin console has enough evidence to approve their profile and first product listing.

01

Apply

The seller submits business, contact and commodity details.

02

Document review

Admin checks required records and flags missing evidence.

03

Listing approval

Verified products are published to the marketplace.

Operating Principles

Manifest is intentionally narrower than a generic marketplace: fewer sellers, stronger evidence, clearer paths to a real shipment.

Curated supply

Only reviewed sellers and approved listings are shown to buyers.

Buyer-led demand

RFQs help sellers respond to real quantity, port, quality and timing needs.

Admin control

The console manages applications, listings, sellers, RFQs, fees and verification rules.

Who It Serves

Each workflow in the prototype links public actions to the admin console so the product feels complete end to end.

Sellers

Export-ready businesses

Producers, processors and aggregators who can document their supply.

Buyers

Manufacturers and traders

Teams needing repeatable Nigerian inputs with verification context.

Admins

Vetting and deal desk

Operators who keep listings trustworthy and match RFQs to supply.
