Pilot tool
The Africa–EU Trade Pulse maps export flows in both directions: from ten leading African economies to all 27 EU member states, and from all 27 EU member states to Africa. It is an early prototype built to demonstrate the kind of data tools Meridian17 is developing — and to start a conversation about what practitioners actually need.
The ten African countries featured are South Africa, Nigeria, Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, Tunisia, Angola, Côte d’Ivoire, Kenya, and Ghana — together accounting for the majority of African exports to Europe. All 27 EU member states are available in EU mode. Data is sourced from the UN Comtrade database and refreshed periodically.
We want your input on what to build next.

We are actively developing the Trade Pulse and want to hear from people who work with this kind of data. Which trade corridors matter most to you? What breakdowns would be most useful — by product, by year, by direction of flow? Are there specific markets or sectors you’d like to see covered?
Every message goes directly to the Meridian17 team.

Note on estimated values: Some records carry
isReported: false, indicating the value is derived from mirror data
(i.e. reported by the partner country as an import rather than directly reported
by the exporting country). These figures are included as the best available approximation
but should be interpreted with caution. This is common for hydrocarbon-dominated
exporters such as Nigeria, Algeria, and Angola.
