Africa's leadership needs to find new markets and need to change their products. I am sure most if not all African countries have ambassadors at the United Nations. Ask the ambassadors to talk to other ambassadors about products they may be looking for.

...Since the start of this year, (click here) the outlook across the continent has grown grimmer, especially in its two biggest economies, Nigeria and South Africa.

It was nice to have China as a customer, but, there are challenges today many did not expect. The global economy is going through shifts from over AND inappropriate investments.
