Supporting the world’s second-largest brewer in the Congo and Côte d’Ivoire
HEINEKEN is a long-standing partner with whom we operate the Brasseries du Congo breweries in Brazzaville and Pointe-Noire, as well as the Brassivoire in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire. These breweries make local beers such as Primus, Ngok and Ivoire as well as beers by leading international brands like Heineken®, Mützig®, Guinness® and Desperados®, and soft drinks including Coca Cola®, Fanta® and Pulp Orange.

Innovating with the Multi Purpose Factory
To further optimise production and streamline costs, we opened a new plant dubbed MIPA:”Made in Côte d’Ivoire, Products for Africa”.
This production facility gives us a local hub to cost-effectively manufacture food and non-food products included in the CFAO FMCG & AGRI portfolio for partners such as BIC®, Mixa and Capri-Sun, in addition to our Ebène, Focus and Clarabel brands.
To target the value chain well ahead of the food-processing industry, CFAO FMCG & AGRI has invested in a pilot project to make and distribute fertiliser in Kenya under the Baraka brand. These quality products allow farmers to increase their yield while caring for the soil. The fertilisers were designed in conjunction with established partners including the International Plant Nutrition Institute, African Fertiliser Agribusiness Partnership and MOI University. As part of this push toward value-chain integration, we also sell farm machinery including tractors and agricultural equipment at our Nakuru showroom in Kenya.
