Wrong-format channel mismatch
10L Jerry Can doesn't fit every channel. Quoting it where it doesn't fit creates dead inventory; missing it where it fits leaves channel volume on the table.

Where 10L Jerry Can fits — and where it doesn't
The 10L jerry can is the cross-over format — too large for typical household retail, too small for institutional HoReCa. It serves a real channel: small restaurants, chip shops, neighbourhood QSR chains, and household buyers who go through frying oil at higher volume. Many distributors miss this format because their FCL planning is locked to either 5L (retail-only) or 20L (HoReCa-only). Mixing 10L into the order book lets a distributor cover both channels from the same FCL plan with less inventory complexity. The buyer pain is mostly invisible — it's the missed channel rather than a problem with the format.
Pack premium opacity
Many quotes bundle pack premium into the FOB number. We separate it as a line item so the $/MT economics are visible.
Brand drift across packs
When buyers run multiple formats from different suppliers, the consumer-facing brand impression fragments. One supplier across formats fixes this.
10L Jerry Can — buyer profile and FCL economics
Channel fit
Small QSR chains, neighbourhood frying operations, takeaway chip shops, university and training-college canteens, mid-volume household buyers in markets where the 5L doesn't last a week (Lagos large-family households, Mombasa lodgings). Distributor archetypes: the omni-channel Lagos or Nairobi importer running both 5L retail and 10L HoReCa from the same supplier; the Kampala wholesaler serving small institutional accounts.
Load math
25.8 MT per 20′ FCL with 2,580 units. Pack premium of USD 28/MT — slightly cheaper per MT than 5L because of the better oil-to-plastic ratio. At CFR Lagos USD 1,253/MT (CP10 indicative), each 10L jerry can lands at approximately USD 12.53 cost-of-goods before duty, FX, distributor margin.
