Revolutionizing Grocery Procurement with Digital Innovation
Libya’s first B2B e-commerce platform, Alkremeya, has officially gone live, marking a major leap forward for the country’s grocery supply chain. Founded in 2023 by Abdurrahman Ejdier and Fasih Ullah Ghafoor, Alkremeya connects retailers directly with importers and wholesalers, offering real-time access to updated product listings, competitive pricing, and market analytics.
By eliminating manual negotiations and fragmented supply chains, Alkremeya aims to streamline procurement, cut costs, and enhance market transparency. The platform empowers small and medium-sized retailers with digital tools, predictive insights, and AI-powered analytics—helping them navigate demand fluctuations and optimize inventory management.
Alkremeya brings a timely digital Shift in MENA’s Retail Sector
The MENA region’s commerce industry is undergoing a rapid digital transformation, driven by mobile adoption, urbanization, and government-backed initiatives. In Saudi Arabia alone, retail sales reached $126.1 billion, with expectations of further growth (Statista). This shift presents a huge opportunity for platforms like Alkremeya to modernize B2B commerce and expand regionally.
Alkremeya isn’t just digitizing procurement—it’s positioning itself for regional dominance. The company plans to:
- Invest in AI and machine learning to refine predictive analytics
- Form strategic partnerships with distributors, financial institutions, and tech providers
- Expand across North Africa and the MENA region
“Our mission is to empower local businesses with technology-driven solutions that reduce inefficiencies and foster economic growth,” said a company spokesperson.
Alkremeya is scaling for the Future
Beyond technology, Alkremeya is investing in local capacity building through training programs and workforce development initiatives. By bridging the gap between traditional retail and digital innovation, the company is set to redefine Libya’s grocery sector while fueling economic progress.
For investors, Alkremeya offers a compelling opportunity to back a scalable, high-impact business model in an emerging market. With a clear strategic vision and strong industry partnerships, the platform is well-positioned to become a key player in MENA’s digital economy.
What’s Next?
