The Packaging Market in Cameroon
Food Safety, Sustainability, Profitability and Availability in packaging supply chains
 

November 3rd, 2022, Douala

Hybrid Event on Professional Packaging Supply Chains
 

Why is the Event so relevant?

Substantial investments from the packaging sector have been made in Cameroon by international and domestic food manufacturers and processers over the past years. This triggers the increasing need for base materials as well as packaging materials in Cameroon.

Imported Packaging line equipment and packaging materials and at the same time uncompetitive supply chains from Europe or Africa are only two spotlights characterizing the market environment. On the other side the increasing needs for innovation, sustainability and food safety determine the requirements for packaging buyers in Cameroon.

Packaging can also contribute to improve Post-Harvest Losses. Many supply chain factors like logistics, infrastructure, storage, agricultural structures etc., influence post-harvest losses, but sufficient Packaging is one of the factors that can deliver fast results.

Finally, the Packaging sector is highly visible, due to associated sustainability aspects in manufacturing und consumption. Recycling efforts and a sustainable packaging alternative cannot be ignored.

In a nutshell: Packaging can be a “Game Changer” for many companies if profitability, sustainability, efficiency, and customer satisfaction are addressed.
