At the same event, local business owner Latron Price told attendees that trade outreach connected to a mayoral trip to Colombia helped create new export and distribution opportunities for his company, Afrovana. "Mayor Kobe invited me...to participate in this tour of the port with these African representatives," Price said, adding that the resulting collaboration will link West African exports and Colombian packing capacity to U.S. distribution.

Price said the collaboration involved Morehouse College and the AD King Foundation and that the governor established a trade agreement to facilitate buying and selling Georgia and Colombian commodities. He said packaged goods from that program would be sold in the U.S., "right here to South Fulton, that's gonna be sold at Amazon." Ray Volk and others also spoke briefly in support of the trade efforts.

This account is an entrepreneur's description of ongoing business arrangements and promotional outreach. The mayor referenced multiple international visits the administration has taken, including trips to Colombia, Ghana and other countries, and said the city travels to promote local businesses. No formal trade agreement text or procurement documents were presented in the remarks; Price described business partnerships and a pack program but did not detail contracts, financing, or specific timelines beyond the packing and shipping plans he described.

What’s next: Businesses and residents interested in the program should seek details from the companies, the AD King Foundation, Morehouse College and the City of South Fulton for confirmations of contracts and timelines.
