About the GGDA Export Portal

The GGDA Export Portal is a central digital platform designed to connect Gauteng exporters with verified buyers, trade partners, and opportunities across regional and international markets.

Developed through the Trade, Investment and Regulatory Enablement (TIRE) Unit, the portal strengthens export readiness, improves access to market information, and enables efficient matchmaking between exporters and buyers.
