TAFRICTÜRKİYE–AFRICA B2BTAFRICTÜRKİYE–AFRICA B2BFresh, verified buying requests from Africa for exporter companies.
African importers, retailers and hotel suppliers open requests for Turkish home textiles: bed linen and duvet sets, towels and bathrobes, curtains, blankets, table linen and rugs. This page collects verified buying requests and shows Turkish exporters what buyers ask for: size, fabric and thread count, towel GSM, packing and CFR delivery to their port.
Requests name the item and its size: single, double or king bed sets, bath and hand towels, curtain width and drop. For bed linen buyers ask for composition (100% cotton, poly-cotton, microfibre), weave (ranforce, percale, satin) and thread count; for towels the GSM and whether it is zero-twist or ring-spun. Restating these in your offer saves several rounds of messages.
Retailers want ready-to-sell sets in printed boxes or zip bags with a mixed colour assortment per carton. Wholesalers buy by bale or by the dozen and care most about price per piece. Hotels, lodges and hospitals ask for white or plain-dyed items that survive industrial washing, often with an embroidered logo. Tell the buyer which of these you supply best.
Home textiles are quoted per piece or per set; towels are also priced per kilo. Most African buyers want one landed CFR price to their port (CFR Durban, CFR Libreville, CFR Beira for Zimbabwe) rather than FOB. Mixed containers of bed linen, towels and curtains are common for a first order, so state the MOQ per item and per colour.
Commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin are standard, and every item needs a care and composition label. Many markets run a pre-shipment conformity programme, and some restrict textile imports: Nigeria's import prohibition list has covered several textile articles. Check the destination rules before you quote. An OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certificate helps with retail and hotel buyers.
Attach photos of the actual product and packing, give the unit price with MOQ, lead time and payment terms, and offer a sample set. On Tafric every request is verified: the firm, country and contact are checked before it goes live, so you talk to a real buyer.
Bed sheets and duvet sets, curtains, towels and bathrobes lead the list, followed by blankets, table linen for events and rugs. Hotel and hospital buyers add white bed linen and towels in bulk.
