Wrong-format channel mismatch
25L 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 25L Jerry Can fits — and where it doesn't
The 25L jerry can wins on $/MT economics — at 26.2 MT per FCL it's the highest packaged-format load and the lowest pack premium (USD 20/MT) we offer. The trade-off is channel fit: it's too big for retail and pushes the boundary of comfortable HoReCa handling. Industrial buyers who pump from drum-style containers into central frying tanks love it; HoReCa kitchens with manual handling sometimes prefer 20L for ergonomic reasons. The right buyer for 25L is the cost-sensitive industrial frying line, the large-tender institutional account willing to handle the heavier unit, or the re-pack operator pumping into smaller retail containers downstream.
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.
25L Jerry Can — buyer profile and FCL economics
Channel fit
Industrial frying lines (snack manufacturing, instant noodle, large bakery shortening), large institutional accounts (university canteens, military feeding, large hospital networks), re-pack operations bottling into smaller PET or HDPE for retail. Distributor archetypes: the Lagos industrial reseller serving snack manufacturers; the Mombasa re-pack operator with on-premises bottling.
Load math
26.2 MT per 20′ FCL with 1,048 units — best packaged-format load. Pack premium of USD 20/MT. At CFR Lagos USD 1,229/MT (CP10 indicative), each 25L jerry can lands at approximately USD 30.73 cost-of-goods before duty, FX, distributor margin.
