Jaraja is an e-commerce platform that aims to enhance trade in goods and services produced in Nigeria. It aggregates Nigeria's key non-oil sector outputs like agricultural products, solid minerals, and manufactured goods. The platform provides a space for buyers and sellers to advertise these predominantly small-scale and informal Nigerian commodities locally and internationally. Jaraja's goal is to increase awareness of quality Nigerian products and connect local and international manufacturers with domestic suppliers to support trade growth.
3. Global Perspective
The 4th Industrial Revolution .
World leaders called it the Internet of Things
Technically all businesses will be driven by the internet, going forward
Davos Summit in Switzerland gave a glimpse into the future of
business: The digital revolution
driven by new technology that will positively impact everything that we do from now on
virtually all business will be driven by the Internet, going forward.
From pilotless aircraft and cars (drones in Rwanda)
to automated healthcare diagnostics and medical prescriptions (and drug fulfilments),
driven from the convergence of the Internet and ones smart phone.

6. Macroeconomic Context
The focus of the Nigerian Leadership is the relegation of the economys
dependence on foreign products while increasing local participation in
trade and manufacturing.
Banning of 41 items from the forex market and
subtle devaluation of the currency for consumption purposes; while retaining the
current official exchange rate for industrial purposes.
We will no longer allow our markets to be flooded with things we can
produce ourselves. We must believe in our system.

8. Key Sectors of the Economy
Characteristically,
the key sectors of
the economy are
informal and
subsistent
www.Jaraja.com.ng Made in Nigeria.For the world 8
Trade
15% of the GDP; a
significant share of
total trade is informal
and for subsistence; it
is also highly
fragmented; driven by
foreign products
Agriculture
22% of the GDP, hugely
informal and highly
fragmented; difficulty
in sourcing agro
products as Nigerias
agricultural sector is
highly fragmented and
dominated by small-
hold farmers.
About 70 percent of
Nigerian farmers are
considered small scale
(<2 ha), 25 percent
midscale (2-10ha), and
5 percent large scale
(>10ha).
Solid minerals
hugely informal,
production is
subsistent. 80% to 85%
of current mining
activities in Nigeria is
informal, via artisanal
and small scale mining.
Official figures indicate
that quarry activities
dominate the sub-
sector, however official
figures are devoid of
the huge, informal and
small scale activities
that are carried out.
Nigeria has over 40
different kinds of latent
solid minerals and
precious metals.

We believe Nigerias
local production would
improve when there is
enough awareness
about the products
and they can easily be
located.
How well can we improve trade
local and international, if
visual information and
awareness of the key products
Nigerians produce are not
readily available?
10. What is Jaraja?
So our e-commerce business aims to enhance and accelerate trade in
goods and services, including soft and hard commodities, produced in
select host countries in Africa, starting with Nigeria. We are focusing
on the non-oil sector including (manufacturing, agriculture, solid
minerals and services)
We are not going to be directly involved in selling but would rather
provide a state of the art advertising platform for buyers and sellers
of commodities to showcase their products locally and
internationally.
