We are starting with Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) of 300, 600 and 900. We may increase depending on demand surge as time goes on.”

Also, Juliet Anammah, Chief Executive Officer of Jumia Nigeria revealed that: “The deal with Dangote Cement is part of efforts to deepen service delivery on Jumia Nigeria online platform.
