INDUSTRIAL OVERVIEW/ OPERATING

ENVIRONMENT

 

The Fast Moving Consumption Goods (FMCG) sector in Nigeria has been growing leaps and bounds. Over the years, the main challenge facing the sector has been how to get the required Machineries, Manpower and Technical expertise to maximize their potential possibilities abounding in the sector.

 

For Example, the Raw Material Research and Development Council (RMRDC) and the Manufacturing Association of Nigeria (MAN) in their research/seminar conducted recently revealed that companies were exploring every available option to remain in business, given the present harsh economic realities and the fact that globalization has become the buzz word of our time. It was also revealed that the fortunes of the manufacturing sector over the past four years have been mixed. This was attributed to several external factors, which includes;

 

- Unstable exchange rate

- Increased smuggling activities

- Infrastructure inadequacies and deficiencies

- Sharp and consistent rise in production cost

- Anomalies in custom tariffs on raw materials

- Increase in taxes and levies by the various tiers of government

- Faking and adulteration of products

 

Thus, the companies adjusted to the development by compromising quality for quantitative production in order to make profit. Though this internal crisis have been curbed by the activities of National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) and Standards Organization of Nigeria (SON) but on the other hand, the external menace motioned earlier have not been totally dealt with by the Government, leaving the companies with little profit margins. However, there are still few companies that were able to give their products in the best quality though their products price is far higher than what average market price is. This however does not mean woe for the sector, due to the recent initiative of going into partnership with foreign companies and the complementing government policies; the sector is now doing well. The nation has witnessed the influx of new companies in the sector both in domestic and foreign. Thus, Nigeria is becoming the investment core of the world, and in the nearest future stands the chance of flooding into other parts of Africa.  The sector is vibrant and lucrative.
