30 raw materials are being studied to reduce dependence on imports and boost local production.

USE CASES
Building local supply chains to ensure the growth of nutrition-related activities in Africa.
The localization of raw materials is a key strategy for ensuring supply security and industrial performance while strengthening the resilience of production chains in Africa. Ensuring the local availability of these resources helps optimize the production of nutritious foods and reduce dependence on imports.
Mission Objective
The goal was to ensure the performance and long-term viability of production and supply chain systems in Africa by relocating the production of some 30 raw materials used in nutritional foods.
Our Approach
To achieve this goal, we have:
- Assessed the potential for sourcing raw materials from various African countries;
- Developed several development scenarios, taking into account local needs and technical and economic feasibility;
- Aligned the recommendations with the group’s overall strategy to ensure consistency and sustainability.
Toward Secure Local Production
This approach helps strengthen the resilience of supply chains, optimize the production of nutritious foods, and support local economic development.
