IBI, aligning with the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation and the Belt and Road Initiative, has systematically expanded into Africa since 2024—establishing strategic hubs in South Africa, Angola, Egypt, Kenya, and East African agricultural nations. Focusing on mining, agriculture, and basic chemicals, IBI leverages source-level procurement and a digital cloud warehouse network to strengthen supply chain resilience and advance industrial synergy between China and Africa. Key milestones include signing strategic agreements with South African mining and aluminum firms, launching digital cloud warehouses in South Africa and Qingdao, executing direct-sourcing of sesame (Mozambique, Tanzania) and coffee (Ethiopia, Uganda), and deepening high-level engagement across 10+ African countries—including participation in the Beijing Summit and hosting delegations from 8 Francophone nations.
