Does This Make Sense?

In retail it is called Generic vs. Branded packaging.
The way this works is that Nakumatt gets the supplier e.g Harpic toilet cleaner to package a certain percentage of their “supplies” as Nakumatt toilet cleaner as a condition for them getting “shelf space” in the shop. They also demand that the goods be supplied at “cost price” meaning that the supplier only makes a profit on the volumes sold on the branded side of the shelf while the supermarket enjoys the benefits of telling the customers that they are cheaper than their competitor and are therefore able to attract a wider customer base into their shop.
So don`t think for one minute that Nakumatt has a soap making factory or a crisps making factory; all they have done is basically hold their suppliers at Ransom to supply some of their stock under their name in exchange for getting “space” in their shops to sell their own branded merchandise.
It sounds ridiculous but big international supermarkets have been doing it for years,

I have seen this with sugar. Well am used to mumias sugar(never mind the content is no longer a kenyan product). So some supermarket stocks it and then sometimes it seems out of stock and the supermarket brand is available, but never the two of them at the same time. Kumbe this is what happens.

Sukari ina siasa nyingi sana. I wasn’t kidding when I mentioned Somalia.

There’s a warehouse somewhere near Cabbanas that masquerades as a flour mill. Specializes in repackaging sugar smuggled via Somalia (alshabab territory) in Mumias branded packaging, using machines bought from MSC a while back at a throw away price. Don’t ask me who owns it, that should be common knowledge by now. If you are keen, you must’ve noticed a deterioration in ‘their’ product quality over the years. Now you know why.

That is why state-owned sugar millers are beyond salvation. Its cheaper to.import sugar than producing the same (with the exception of private sugar millers who are making profits ).

It is also true that local sugar millers have been actively sabotaged by those who should know better.

It makes you wonder just how much better would our economy be if.we were not importing stuff we can.produce like sugar, rice, clothes, fruits, papers maize.

Yes. At one point I had some guy supplying me with very cheap contraband sugar from somalia.
