Zuta Store is a place to buy local items from Eastern Nigeria (Igboland). The inspiration for Zuta Store springs from the Igbo word “zuta”. Apart from selling diverse products, the store is aimed at enriching and creating awareness of the Igbo Language and culture.
This is not just a store where you can buy products but also a place to learn more about the culture and people of Eastern Nigeria. Although the Igbos are the most populous people in the East, other nearby nationalities have their uniqueness and beauty which this store seeks to celebrate, market, and export.
Zuta Meaning in Igbo
The meaning of zuta in Igbo is “buy” The Zuta Store is a place to buy. The Igbos are arguably the most traveled people in Africa. This creates a cultural export. In several cases, not just the Igbos domiciled outside Nigeria need products from Igboland but also others. Products from Igboland which includes both raw materials and finished goods are in high demand and important among Igbos and others.
Several products from Southeast Nigeria are also of industrial importance. It is important to note that we are available to make any product of such nature available to you at a good rate.
Motivation for Zuta Store
Our world is growing smaller with each passing second, our people are now rooted all over the world, creating awareness for our products and culture. At other times our people in those places miss home, not just home but the items that make home what it is. Apart from the people and culture, products are a vital feature of every place. We are here to ensure these items are made available, especially to our people in other parts of the world and others who love our products.
We also understand that so many products available in Southeast Nigeria may not be available in the temperate regions of the world, as such, we create a reliable channel through the Zuta store to ensure that we can deliver these products locally and globally.
Although priority is given to export, especially to our people outside Nigeria, we also supply countrywide within Nigeria. It is important to understand that Nigeria’s diverse environment and geography make products available in one region unavailable in another. This creates a scarcity of such products that are abundant in one part of the country in other parts.
We seek to bridge this natural gap by ensuring that scarce products in one part of the country are available in another. This is not just going to be about serving our people domiciled outside Igboland but also attending to the needs of other nationalities.
The kind of items we market
If you are looking for a place to buy local raw and finished goods of Eastern Nigerian origin, then, we are here for you. We ensure that cash crops and other agricultural products, finished goods like fabrics, footwear, foodstuff, and other items that are made in or available in Igboland are accessible to anyone in need of them.
Igboland has diverse products and more are coming as the days go by. It is important to understand that our listing will eventually go beyond what we focus on currently. Every day, new products emerge in Igboland, these include technological devices and others of Igbo origin. We must look beyond what’s attainable today and understand that the scope of the store is bound to expand.
