For mainland distributors
Add Zanzibar coverage without island overhead.
Distributors live on coverage — and Zanzibar is the coverage gap most mainland portfolios share. The island buys your brands constantly through fragmented, informal channels.
In short
Mainland distributors gain Zanzibar coverage through the programme: your portfolio listed for island buyers, representation working contractors and developers, and delivery coordinated per order — coverage without leases, staff or stock on the island.
Partnership formalises the island as your territory: listed portfolio, represented brands, routed project demand and delivery that makes service levels match the mainland.
Portfolio leverage
Every brand you carry becomes listable, quotable and representable on the island in one move.
Project share
Routed BOQ and project demand flows to the distributor whose portfolio matches — systematically.
Zero island fixed cost
Coverage without yard, staff or bonded stock until volumes justify permanent presence.

Direct answers
I'm already in Zanzibar/Tanzania — why join?
For digital visibility in the marketplace buyers search, routed project and product RFQs, representation support on bigger opportunities, and — where relevant — planned physical display and launch participation.
Does joining affect my existing customers?
No. Your direct business stays yours. The programme adds marketplace presence and routed opportunities on top; routed-buyer contact details stay protected until opportunities are real.
How are mainland-to-island deliveries handled?
Zanzibaba coordinates mainland consolidation and last-mile delivery to Zanzibar sites per agreement — one of the main reasons mainland suppliers join.
What does verification involve for local companies?
Business registration check, reachable decision-maker, and product/category fit confirmation. Verified suppliers get the listings, RFQ routing and brand-page gating.
Can we appoint Zanzibaba for specific brands only?
Yes — scopes are agreed brand by brand, so strategic or exclusive lines can be included or excluded exactly as your supplier agreements require.
