South Africa → Europe
Your European Sales Office
Euro-Cape Partners helps premium South African dry fruit, nut, and vegetable producers enter and grow in European markets, without the cost or risk of building a commercial team abroad.
Our Mission
Commercial representation, built for exporters who can produce but haven't yet cracked Europe.
South African producers of tree nuts, dried fruit, and vegetables make some of the most competitive product in the world. What most lack isn't quality, it's a European commercial presence. We are that presence: a dedicated sales office based in Europe, working exclusively on your behalf.
Founded by Dr. Antonios Michail, who lived and worked in South Africa for three years, building businesses there before founding Euro-Cape Partners.
Core Services
View all services →European Distributor Search
We identify and qualify importers and distributors across Southern and Northern Europe whose category focus, retail relationships, and volumes match your production capacity.
Buyer Prospecting & Lead Generation
Targeted outreach to retail buyers, wholesalers, and food-service groups, building a qualified pipeline of European buyers actively sourcing dry fruit, nuts, and produce.
Sales Representation
We act as your on-the-ground commercial team in Europe: negotiating terms, managing buyer relationships, and representing your brand at the table, without you opening a local entity.
Why Producers Choose Us
A partner, not a middleman with a warehouse.
No inventory risk
We never buy or hold stock. Product moves directly from your facility to the buyer, so your working capital stays where it belongs: in production.
Aligned incentives
We're compensated on the sales we generate for you. Our commercial interest only grows when your export volumes do.
EU compliance fluency
Import documentation, labelling, phytosanitary requirements, and retailer-specific standards for dry goods and fresh produce, handled by people who deal with them daily.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Euro-Cape Partners operates as a broker and sales agent, not a trading house. We never take title to product or hold inventory. Every sale is a direct transaction between your business and the European buyer.
We work on a commission basis tied to the sales we generate on your behalf. Our return grows only when your export volumes do, which keeps our incentives aligned with your long-term growth rather than a single shipment.
Tree nuts (including macadamias, pecans, and almonds), dried fruits (raisins, apricots, prunes, figs, and mixed formats), and vegetables and general food products. We do not work with seafood or marine products.
We are based in Greece, giving us a working position in Southern Europe with direct routes into Northern European markets, so we can represent your product across both regions.
It starts with a conversation about your product range, current export status, and where you want to grow. From there we outline which services (distributor search, buyer prospecting, sales representation, or a combination) fit your stage of export readiness.
We guide you through the certificates, labelling, and compliance paperwork EU buyers and customs authorities expect for dry goods and produce shipments, and coordinate with your logistics team on delivery windows.
