Wrong-format channel mismatch
20L 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 20L Jerry Can fits — and where it doesn't
The 20L jerry can is the HoReCa standard across Africa — the format hotel kitchens, school feeding programs, hospital catering, bakery shortening blenders, and large QSR chains call out by name. It's the format that wins institutional tenders. The buyer pain centres on tender-cycle reliability: institutional accounts re-tender annually or biannually and want supplier discipline that survives the contract window. Lot-to-lot CoA drift, single-origin exposure, and brand inconsistency all show up at tender-renewal time when the procurement officer compares actual delivered specifications against contract.
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.
20L Jerry Can — buyer profile and FCL economics
Channel fit
Hotel chains (Marriott, Radisson, Accor in West/East Africa), large QSR (KFC, Domino's regional), hospital catering, government school-feeding programs, bakery and confectionery shortening blenders, large industrial frying lines (snack and instant-noodle factories). Institutional reseller archetypes: the Nairobi institutional distributor with 6–12 month tender contracts; the Lagos B2B reseller serving hotel chains and school feeding programs.
Load math
26.0 MT per 20′ FCL with 1,300 units. Pack premium of USD 22/MT — the cheapest among packaged formats apart from 25L. At CFR Mombasa USD 1,210/MT (CP10 indicative), each 20L jerry can lands at approximately USD 24.20 cost-of-goods before duty, FX, distributor margin.
