In March, the young winery 46 Parallel Wine Group exported its wines to the African continent: another batch of Apostrophe and 46 Parallel wines was shipped to Nigeria.
Since entering the Ukrainian market, the company has announced ambitious plans to become a business card of Ukraine on the wine map of the world and aimed at export orientation. 46 Parallel Wine Group began negotiations with the African side in 2020. At the same time, the first supply contracts were signed, and, despite the quarantine, the first wines were exported on the shelves of African stores. Thanks to the high quality of wines, Ukrainian winemakers received another order from Nigerian partners and once again successfully sold their products to African consumers.
In recent years, Nigeria has become a surprisingly promising market, where the share of imported alcohol has increased several times. In 2021, profits in the "wine" segment are estimated by experts at USD 465 million. The market is expected to grow by 15.32% annually. Given that Nigerians mainly consume still table and sparkling wines, preferring red wines, 46 Parallel Wine Group will introduce the red wine to the African wine market.
Nigeria is one of the most populous countries in Africa, whose alcohol market is developing dynamically. That is why it is important for us not only to be represented in the African market, but also to gain the trust of African consumers and build stable relationships with distribution partners.
Anna Gorkun, CEO and founder of 46 Parallel Wine Group
The company is currently negotiating with European and Middle Eastern countries for export supplies.
