Africa Trade Consortium (ATC) has scheduled the 5th edition of its acclaimed “Tea Break Edition” for the Grand Pela Hotel in Durimi, Abuja, Nigeria on May 14, 2025. Organized by PR Times Africa Media Ltd, the annual gathering has become a cornerstone for advancing intra-African trade, uniting business leaders, policymakers, and diplomats to unlock new economic opportunities across the continent.
With a spotlight on the tea industry, this year’s event promises to ignite conversations that could reshape trade dynamics in Africa. Kicking off at 10AM (WAT), the Tea Break Edition will convene diverse stakeholders from across Africa, all driven by a shared goal: to strengthen economic ties and address barriers to trade.
The tea industry, a vital yet underexplored sector, will take centre stage as attendees explore its potential to drive growth and create jobs. Beyond tea, discussions will tackle pressing challenges like trade barriers, border inefficiencies, security concerns, and climate-related obstacles, offering practical solutions to boost commerce.
“The Africa Trade Consortium is dedicated to sparking economic progress by fostering trade and investment,” said the Lead Consultant of PR Times Africa Media Ltd, who also serves as the event’s convener. “The tea industry holds tremendous promise, and we’re eager to collaborate with partners from across Africa to seize new opportunities.”
Since its launch in Abuja in 2022, the Africa Trade Consortium has emerged as a dynamic platform for economic collaboration, with a mission to deepen trade ties between Nigeria and other African nations. By bringing together voices from government, private sectors, and civil society, the consortium fosters dialogue that translates into actionable partnerships.
“Over the years, we as a continent have suffered in these areas and still haven’t got a better platform to tackle this long-lasting issues,” said ATC in a 2022 press release.
“Our ultimate goal is to unlock the vast potentials of agricultural value chains through partnerships and synergy with like-minded enterprises, organizations, and institutions throughout the world; to mutually create wealth, generate local employment and contribute significantly to the economic growth of Africa/Nigeria and its GDP.”
The Tea Break Edition, now in its fifth year, exemplifies this commitment, blending innovation with pragmatism to address Africa’s trade landscape. The event’s setting in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, emphasizes the country’s growing role as a hub for continental business initiatives.
Attendees can expect a day of robust discussions, networking, and insights that could pave the way for transformative trade agreements. For those eager to participate or learn more, the Africa Trade Consortium invites inquiries at +234802422404.
