To provide local business easy B2B access for millions of Chinese products

Tradeling, the hyper-growing eMarketplace focused on business-to-business (B2B) transactions in the MENA region, has signed a partnership agreement with Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com.

The collaboration will provide MENA business buyers access to tap into China’s fast-growing e-commerce market, in a further boost to advance the region’s B2B ecosystem.

Tradeling will also offer free delivery of any goods purchased from JD.com via the Tradeling platform for a limited period to further support trade.

Through the partnership, Tradeling will list brands and products from JD.com, China’s largest retailer, on its wholesale platform, Tradeling.com, giving MENA customers access to millions of high-quality Chinese brands.

The new partners will also look at opportunities for Tradeling to integrate and use JD.com’s logistic and warehouse capabilities for a fast delivery experience, leveraging JD.com's unparalleled logistic capabilities and to help create a seamless B2B buying experience for MENA businesses.

The partnership is a further push for Tradeling.com, which has re-invented the way business buyers source and procure goods by removing many complexities for regional businesses.
