The Brazilian aircraft maker said the turboprop-powered Super Tucanos were destined for Angola, Burkina Faso and Mauritania in deals that together are worth more than $180 million.
The contracts include extensive logistical, training and spare parts supply, Embraer said.
Three aircraft already have been delivered to Burkino Faso; six are destined for Angola, including three planned for delivery later this year.
Angola and Mauritania operate earlier versions of the aircraft.
The Mauritanians received four refurbished ex-French Tucanos in 2010, one of which crashed and was written off last year.
Sales to all three nations were previously flagged by various specialist regional websites, but this is thought to be the first time the deals have been officially confirmed.
