Comments
Malaria: According to the WHO health status report on CAR (January
2007), the number of reported cases of malaria during the year 2000 was
as high as 2,210 per 100,000 people. Children under-five are particularly
affected with a mortality rate of 777/100,000. Only 1.5% of under-five
children sleep under insecticide-treated bed nets.
Meningitis: the Central African Republic is located in the meningitis belt
and suffers from sporadic out-breaks.
Yellow fever: a case of yellow fever was laboratory confirmed in Boyali,
north of Bangui, in November 2006. Fortunately, an immunization
campaign followed.
Tuberculosis: More than 12,500 cases were reported in 2004; 48% of
adults with tuberculosis were HIV positive.
HIV/AIDS: the adult prevalence rate is around 6.3%, with a peak at 35% in
some formerly conflict-affected areas. According to the CIA World Fact
Book, the number of people living with HIV/AIDS is estimated at 160,000
and the number of death was as high as 11,000 in 2007.
Water-borne diseases and sanitation: Diarrhoea and typhoid fever are
frequent in the Central African Republic.
Bird influenza (H5N1): To date, no case of the H5N1 virus (avian influenza)
has been reported in the Central African Republic. As some cases were
reported in Nigeria and in neighbouring Cameroon, the country should
increase its vigilance.
Swine Influenza (AH1N1): The Swine Influenza has reached the pandemic
level according to the World Health Organisation (WHO) which has
therefore raised its alert system to Phase VI (the highest!). Considering the
high prevalence rate of HIV-AIDS in the Central African Republic, this
country would be worst impacted by the AH1N1 disease, as the
combination of the two viruses will increase the mortality of HIV affected
people.

Road
Transport
The rainy season lasts from June to November/December. During this period, transport by road is extremely difficult
throughout the country. It should be mentioned most of the roads in the Central African Republic are not paved and
many bridges are made of wooden materials. In this context, many regions of the country are merely inaccessible
during the rainy season. This is actually the case for the Vakaga in the northeast and for Obo in the southeast. For
regions which remain accessible, the multiplication of rain barriers increase considerably the transit time. For
instance, it can take over a week to reach a location which normally takes two days during the dry season. The
transport along the Douala corridor is also affected by the rainy season, especially for the unpaved stretch between
Yaoundé and Bertoua via the town of Mbandjock.

Air traffic is very limited in the Central African Republic. Nonetheless, there can be disruption of the traffic during the
rainy season due to worse weather conditions. As result, landing and take-off are sometimes delayed until the end
of the rain.

Waterway
Transport
The river corridor along the Ubangui is a major supply route to the Central African Republic. During the dry season,
water levels are too low for river barge traffic. This corridor is therefore operational during the rainy season (June
through December) only.

Handling
The rainy season affects commodity handling at the river port, as there is no appropriate equipment to handle cargo
when it rains. It is thus advisable to have the cargo containerized.Being the main port of entry for cargo destined to
the Central African Republic, the port of Douala is unfortunately affected by the rainy season. Vessels’ discharge and
trucks’ loading can be stopped for many hours. Finally, overland transporters should be reminded to ensure that their
tarpaulins are in good order during the wet season in Cameroon (June – November). Substantial losses have
occurred in the past due to poor tarpaulins.

Capacity and Contacts for In-Country Emergency Response
Government
The capacity of the government to respond to emergencies has been weakened by years of political instability and civil unrest. However, this
capacity is being restored gradually as demonstrated by the recent drafting of the country’s plan for the management of relief operations in case
of disaster, known as the ORSEC[1] plan. According to this plan, which still needs to be published by decree, a national committee presided over
by the Ministry of Homeland Affairs should be established. This committee should actually coordinate relief operations amongst the humanitarian
community.
Government’ administrations which could provide relief in case of emergency
Some administrations have been established by the government of the Central African Republic in order to respond to emergencies. These
structures are unfortunately poorly equipped and recommendation is hereby made to reinforce them.
For information on Cantral African Republic Government contact details, please see the following link:
For information on Central African Republic Direction Générale de la Protection Civile and Government Food Importation, please see the following
document:

Humanitarian Community
Necessity of international assistance in case of emergency in the Central African Republic
Page 8
The government relies entirely on the assistance of the international community to provide timely and effective relief to its population. Therefore,
we note a large presence in the country of UN specialised agencies and international non governmental organisations (NGOs).
In order to coordinate NGOs’ operations, the government has established a permanent secretariat for NGOs [2].
MINURCAT Forces in north-eastern country
A special mention should be made concerning the MINURCAT forces which replaced the EUFOR in March 2009. Deployed in the region of the
Vakaga, close to chad and the Darfur Region of Sudan, the mission of the MINURCAT includes the following:
(i) To contribute to protecting civilians in danger, particularly refugees and displaced persons;
(ii) To facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid and the free movement of humanitarian personnel by helping to improve security in the area of
operations;
(ii) To contribute to protecting United Nations personnel, facilities, installations and equipment and to ensuring the security and freedom of
movement of its staff and United Nations and associated personnel.

Customs Clearance
The Central African Customs Office in Douala
In order to improve the collection of customs related taxes, the Central African Government opened a customs office branch in Douala, as over
80% of the country’s international trade transits through this port.
Cargo imported through the port of Douala should be customs-cleared and taxes paid at Port level. Once in the Central African territory, only
inspections should be done to avoid eventual fraud, as a substitution of cargo during the voyage. Unfortunately, this is not the case, as many
merchants are complaining that they have to pay same fees again or additional taxes in Bangui.
The ‘Feuille de route’
For goods which are not cleared at the port of Douala (WFP consignments, goods purchased in neighbouring countries), customs clearance
should normally be done at the border entry point.
However, the importer may want to clear the goods only in Bangui. In such case, a ‘feuille de route’ is issued with mentions on the quantity,
quality and value of the goods. This document should be stamped at various checkpoints along the corridor up to Bangui where the goods will be
finally customs-cleared.
Bureau d’Affrètement Routier Centrafricain (BARC)
The Bureau d’Affrètement Routier Centrafricain (BARC) watches over the strict respect of the quota of cargo between Cameroonian and Central
African transporters. It should be mentioned that as per an agreement with the two countries, 60% of cargo in transit at Douala Port to the Central
African Republic should be transported on Central African trucks, whereas the remaining 40% should be transported on Cameroonian trucks.
BARC charges
In addition to Customs duties and related taxes (WFP is exempt from these taxes), there is specific fee to be paid to the BARC, which is 6% of the
freight (transport cost). It should be mentioned that WFP is not exempt from these fees.

2.1 Central African Republic Port Assessment
Central African Republic Port Assessment
For information on Central African Republic port contact details, please see the following link:
The Central African Republic is a landlocked country. Therefore, the government has to identify the most suitable corridor to access the sea. To
this effect, the country has four possibilities, with Sudan, the two Congo and Cameroon.
The Central African Republic can access the sea through the territory of Sudan, at Port-Sudan on the Indian Ocean. The main difficulty in using
Port-Sudan as an entry point for goods destined to the Central African Republic is the state of the road in the Vakaga préfecture. Actually, road
infrastructure in this region is in a poor state and almost impassable during the rainy season. Therefore, the traffic could be possible only for six
moths during the dry season. Another difficulty could be the fact that fact that the two countries belong to two different economic area and the
insecurity in the northern country due to the presence of rebels and the unrest in the Darfur (Sudan).
Possible access to the sea via the two Congo Pointe-Noire in the Republic of the Congo and Matadi in the Democratic Republic of the Congo are
two other possibilities for the Central African Republic to access the sea. This corridor could be cheaper and faster. But, the main weak points of
this corridor are the use of combined transport (rail/river from Pointe-Noire and road/river from Matadi), which increases the risk of (food
commodity) loss. Also, the road and rail links have proved to be unreliable for non-oil traffic.The seasonal navigability on the Ubangui River, which
is limited to the wet season (From June to January), is another constraint. The continual silting of the Ubangui river-bed, which necessitate a
constant and costly dredging of the waterway.
Douala in Cameroon as the most suitable access point to the sea for the Central African Republic. The estuary port of Douala is situated at over
1,450 kms from Bangui. This is actually the main port for the Central African Republic, handling about 80% of the international trade of this
country. The main advantage of the port Douala is the fact that Cameroon and the Central African Republic belong to the same economic zone
(CEMAC ). However, the transit time at the port of Douala remains high (over two weeks) and it could take more than 20 days for a truck to cover
the distance of 1,450 km which separates Douala from Bangui. It should be mentioned that many stretches of this roads are still unpaved.

Central African Republic Port of Bangui
Port Overview:
SOCATRAF is a mixed company (60% for the Bolloré Group and 40% for the government of the Central African Republic) which manages the
river port and barge transport along the Ubangui River up to Brazzaville or Kinshasa. However, the container section is managed by SCAC
DELMAS VIELJEUX (SDV), another company of the Bolloré Group.
The corridor starts at the ports of Pointe Noire (RoC) or Matadi (DRC) to reach Brazzaville or Kinshasa by railway or road. From these two towns,
cargo is loaded on barges and transported through the rivers Congo and Ubangui up to the port of Bangui.

Berthing Specifications
The maintenance of the entire network of navigable waterways of the Congo-Ubangui-Sangha Rivers, representing some 2,000 km, is the
responsibility of SCEVN[1], a company jointly owned by the Central African Republic and the Republic of the Congo.
In order to facilitate the access to the port of Bangui, constant dredging of the Ubangui and Congo should be done, which is unfortunately not the
case. As a result, the beds of the two rivers are subject to silting as demonstrated by the low draught level. Consequently, only barges could
navigate on these rivers.
The quay at the port of Bangui measures about 330m, divided into the upstream port (Port amont) for the cement and petroleum products and the
downstream port (Port aval) for general cargo such as cereals and cotton.
It should be mentioned that only two barges can berthed at the same time.

2.2 Central African Republic Aviation
Central African Republic Aviation
Key airport information may also be found at: World Aero Data information on Central African Republic
Bangui is the main airport in the country with international standards. The country's airfield environment is composed of about 41 secondary
inland airports but only a limited number of them are practicable for the aircrafts commonly used for humanitarian transportation.
For information on Central African Republic Secondary Airports, please see the following document:
Secondary airports in Central African Republic
Management of air transport
Placed under the Ministry of Transport, the General Directorate for Civil Aviation actually defines the country’s air transport policy, including
security and safety matters. But the granting of overflight and landing permits is the responsibility of the Ministry of Defense upon advice from the
Ministry of Transport.
All the activities of the Bangui International Airport are managed by ASECNA; except for the security on the tarmac, which is under the
responsibility of the gendarmeries and the customs and immigration. ASECNA provides the usual services of control tower, air space travel,
weather and weather forecast as well as security in the terminal. AHS-Menzies, a private international company is responsible for the handling
and ground services to aircrafts: checking, cargo/luggage handling and fret storage.
Air traffic
Air traffic in the Central African Republic is extremely limited. Bangui is the only airport of the country with a significant traffic, mainly international
connections with some African cities (Douala, Brazzaville, etc.) and Paris in France.
With the exception of the United Nations Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS), domestic traffic from Bangui to secondary airfields inside the country
are rather inexistent.

Bangui-M’poko is the only airport in the Central African Republic with international standards. It is situated at about 5 km northwest of Bangui
downtown. The airport was open to traffic in 1967 and the last time its runway was resurfaced dates back to 1987. According to last available
statistics, 66,854 passengers transited through Bangui International Airport.
The main international companies serving Bangui International Airport are TAAG Angola Airlines (Brazzaville, Douala, Pointe-Noire and Luanda),
Afriqiyah Airways (Tripoli), Toumaï Air Tchad (Brazzaville, Cotonou, Douala, Libreville, Lomé and N’djamena) and Air France (Paris-Charles de
Gaulle).
The only regular domestic traffic in the Central African Republic is provided by the United Nations Humanitarian Air Services (UNHAS), with about
13/14 locations served in the country. The fleet of UNHAS include one LET 410, offering 19 seats or 1.5 mt capacity. There is another aircraft
positioned in Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo. Considering the insecurity prevailing within the Central African Republic, UNHAS flights are
absolutely necessary for the security of UN and other NGOs activities in the country.

Road Class and Surface Conditions
Central African Republic Road Network
The roads network in the Central African Republic covers a total distance of about 24,000 km with only 700 km asphalted. The national roads are
about 4,500 km road while the regional roads cover about 3,900 km. The remaining 15,268 km (more than 60%) represents tracks or rural roads
across villages.
The whole network is rather in bad shape since no proper rehabilitation or maintenance programme are in place. Throughout the country many
villages are not reachable and almost cut off year round (the Vakaga region in the north-eastern part of the country). This constitutes a major
constraint to the development of these areas.
Rain barriers
There is no specific restriction about road traffic during the rainy season as it is the case in some neighbouring countries, where several unpaved
roads are close. Rather, rain barriers are established across the country in order to avoid further deterioration of the dirt roads. Heavy trucks
should therefore wait after the end of the rains (about six hours) before continuing their journey. This restriction applies particularly/strictly on
newly rehabilitated roads.

Road Security
Road from Bangui to Birao (Bad security)
Besides the worst condition of the road, security is another constraint related to this corridor. Rebels, road blockers (coupeurs de route)
and poachers sometimes force WFP trucks to stop and in some cases, the cargo is looted. It should be mentioned that the security level
in the Vakaga region is at phase IV, which explained the presence there of MINURCAT forces. In the other stretches of this road, the
security is at phase II.
Concerning road security, wooden bridges should be upgraded in order to secure the river-crossing. Trails are very narrow in some areas
and overgrow with high grass, bush and small trees. Drivers are therefore advised to be cautious.
Road from Bangui to Ndélé (Bad security)
After the town of Ndélé, the road continues up to the border with southern Chad. The phenomenon of road blockers (coupeurs de route)
is reported in this area, as well as rebels. The security level is at phase II along this road.
Road from Bangui to Bossangoa / Bemal (Bad security)
There is no major threat for vehicles on this road, though it could become slippery during the rainy season. The phenomenon of highway
banditry is also reported on this stretch. The security level is at phase II along this road.
Road from Bangui to Bouar/Garoua Boulaï (Good security)
The road could be slippery between Baoro and Garoua-Boulaï during the rainy season. The security level along the road is at phase II.
Road Class and Surface Conditions
The network of primary roads in the Central African Republic is hereafter summarized.
Bangui – Sibut – Bambari – Bria – Birao (RN 2 & 5)
Bangui – Sibut – Kaga Bandoro – Ndele (RN 2 & 8)
Bangui – Bossangoa – Bemal – (Chad) (RN 1)
Bangui – Bouar – Beloko – Garoua Boulai (Cameroon) (RN 1& 3)
Bambari – Bangassou – Obo (RN 2)
Baoro – Carnot – Berberati – Nola/Salo (RN 3 &11)
A non exhaustive list of main bridges in the Central African Republic is available at Section 10.6 below. However, the number of bridges is
insufficient as demonstrated by the number of ferries in the country.
According to the Ministry of roads, there are 52 ferries in the Central African Republic, about 70% of them being off-service.
The rehabilitation and maintenance of the road network in the country is the responsibility of the Central African Road Fund (Fonds Routier
Page 28
Centrafricain). But, with a government annual subsidy estimated at 2.5 billions cfa francs, the Road Fund has limited capacity and can not
maintain more than one or two roads during the year. It should be mentioned that the management of ferries is also done by the Road Fund.
Since the capacity of the Central African Government to maintain roads across the country is limited, some NGOs, such as ACTED and Première
Urgence are active in this sector. For instance, ACTED rehabilitated in 2008 the road stretch on the National Road N° 8, including the construction
or maintenance of 12 bridges. As for Première Urgence, this NGO recently upgraded about 32 km of road, including 10 bridges between Paoua
and Ngaoundaye.

Key Routes
Central African Republic Waterways Assessment
River transport from Brazzaville to Bangui used to be a major international supply route into the Central African Republic until the mid-nineties.
The volume has declined from 200,000 mt in 1980 down to its lowest point of 18, 218 mt in the year 2000 mainly because of the deterioration of
the infrastructures and the war in the Republic of the Congo. In the nineties, some timber companies of the Central African Republic had their
production left over at the port of Brazzaville instead of being transported on train to Pointe Noire. As a result some companies went bankrupt
while the other decided to use the road corridor between Douala and Bangui. Because of that the activities at the port of Bangui decreased and
the infrastructures and barges could not be maintained properly.
Moreover, the river is accessible only during six to seven months a year, from June to December or January. The level of water does not allow
navigation of barges during the dry season. This reduces the level of traffic on the river.
The distance between Bangui and Brazzaville is 1,180 km. According to the Director of SOCATRAF[1], It is estimated that for a convoy of barges
Carrying about 1,500 mt a complete rotation would take about 21 days loading either at Kinshasa or Brazzaville and returning back to Bangui.
Security conditions remain an issue of concern all along the river and limit the potential use of this corridor.

Central African Republic Storage Assessment
With the exception of main localities such as Bangui, Bouar, Bambari, Paoua and Kaga-Bandoro where the Government has built warehouses,
food storage conditions in the rest of the country are not very good due to the absence of adequate facilities. Therefore, WFP has set up a
number of Wiik-halls to increase its storage capacity and get closer to beneficiaries.
In addition to government storage facilities and WFP Wiik-halls, there are few warehouses built/owned by non-governmental organisations in
various parts of the country where they operate. The capacity of these warehouses is however limited, not exceeding 100 metric tons.
Finally, there are large storages available within the port premises in Bangui, with 15 warehouses available offering about 30,000 metric tons of
capacity. The condition of these warehouses is good, with water supply and electricity. However, pallets are not available and it is advisable to
check the roof, especially during the rainy season to be sure there is no leaking which could damage the food.

storage capacity in the country is estimated at 48,000cbm (or 38,400 metric tons), which is quite good. The import, storage and distribution of
petroleum products were privatized in 1999. Since then, the oil sector has been dominated by three companies:
SOCASP[1], a joint Company between the Central African government (51%), Total (25%), Tradex (15%) and others (9%), actually replaced the
former SOGAL[2] and is exclusively in charge of the importation and storage of oil products in the country.
Total Centrafrique and Tradex Centrafrique, which are in charge of the commercialisation of oil products.
Total has the largest share of the market, with filling stations in all main towns. Tradex, a Cameroonian company, has five filling stations in Bangui
and is present in Baoro and Damara.
The Central African Republic relies entirely on oil importation to satisfy the domestic demand. The oil import to the country is done through two
corridors. The main corridor is from Brazzaville along the rivers Ubangui and Congo. This corridors accounts for 80% of the importation of the
country and is active during the rainy season only (June to January). The second corridor is through Cameroon and it accounts for only 20% and
can not exceed this limit[3] (according to a law voted by the parliament).
In 2008, the quantity of petroleum products imported was estimated around 80,000cbm or 64,000 metric tons. The repartition by corridor was as
follows:
Corridor Ubangui/Congo : 64,000cbm or 51,200 metric tons
Corridor Cameroon: 16,000cbm or 12,800 metric tons.
[1] Société Centrafricaine de Stockage de Produits Pétroliers.
[2] Société de Gestion des Actifs Pétroliers.
[3] The import through Cameroon takes place during the dry season. But, in case of unexpected increase of the demand, the additional quantity
can be imported through Douala, without any limitation. This is actually the case for aviation fuel.
Information may also be found at: My Travel Cost Website information on Central African Republic which is updated monthly.
Fuel Pricing
The price at pump of fuel is not the same throughout the country. The lowest price is observed in Bangui where the main fuel depots are located.
From Bangui to elsewhere in the Central African Republic, the price depends on the distance.
It should be mentioned that the price of fuel also depends on the evolution of the international market, although it is sometimes subsidize by the
government. Current fuel prices observed in Bangui filling stations are as follows:
Super: 780 XAF/Litre
Diesel oil: 750 XAF/Litre
Domestic fuel (pétrole lampant): 530 XAF/Litre
JET A1: 610 XAF/Litre (Available in Bangui Airport, but should be confirmed for other airports before takeoff).

Fuel Transportation
There are two main fuel depots in the country. The biggest one is Kolongo, on the Ubangui River, with a total 14 tanks representing a capacity of
45, 000 m3. Actually, this quantity is sufficient to cover the need of 6 months consumption. Salo, located on the Sangha River, is another major
depot with a storage capacity of 3, 500 m3 but actually not in used since the infrastructure and equipment is no longer operational.
Another depot is located at the international airport in Bangui with seven tanks for a total storage capacity of 300 m3. The replenishment of that
depot is under the responsibility of SOCASP but the retailing of fuel to aircraft operators is managed by TOTAL.
Fuel supply is done by tank trucks (tankers) throughout the country. It should however be recalled that 80% of fuel import into the country is done
on barges from Kinshasa and along the rivers Congo and Ubangui, whereas the remaining 20% is done with tank trucks through Cameroon.

3.2 Central African Republic Transporters
Central African Republic Transporters
The Bureau d’Affrètement Routier (B.A.R.C.) is a mixed association hold by the private sector (45 %) and the government (55%). Under the
Ministry of transport, the B.A.R.C. mission is to regulate the transport market, both internally and internationally. All main transport companies
operating in the Central African Republic such as STI, STR, BANOS, CEFKA, ALIZE CONSTRUCTION and TEFA are members of the B.A.R.C.
Altogether these companies hold a fleet of over 220 trucks with an average capacity of 35 to 45 mt per truck.
United Transport Africa (U.T.A.) is one of the very few independent transporters in the country which is not affiliated with the B.A.R.C. It has many
offices in different countries within the region such as Chad, Cameroon, Gabon and other countries in West Africa. In Bangui, it operates a fleet of
about 30 trucks with 45 mt capacity per truck.
Transport activities in the Central African Republic are mainly concentrated on the Douala – Bangui corridor which represents over 80% of the
country’s international trade: timber, fuel and cotton. Therefore, transporters engaged in the corridor may show limited interest in the domestic
transport (within the country) for the following reasons:
Most of the roads in the country are in very bad conditions. This represents some serious risks for damage on trucks. Moreover, the long transit
time is another factor discouraging these transporters. Most of the roads are not accessible during the rainy season. Thus, reducing the transport
activities and expected incomes. Most of the transporters operate long haul trucks with 35 - 45 mt capacity. These trucks are unfitted for the
transport on dirt roads.
The prevalent insecurity conditions in some parts of the country represent potential risks of transport losses (pilferage).
There is no sustained internal trade or regular demand between the regions. Therefore there is no opportunity to optimise their transport
operations. (The trucks would come back empty to their base after the delivery. This would affect the profitability of their operations). They have
already engagements and long term perspectives with their current partners and activities. As a result, the trucking capacity within the country lies
with small entrepreneurs.
As of December 2008, a total of 22 transporters with about 100 trucks were identified and shortlisted by the country office. Altogether, these
transporters represent “theoretical” transport capacity estimated around 1,600 metric tons.
Since most of those trucks are rather old and not well maintained, the above transport capacity should be reviewed down. The repartition of trucks
by extended delivery point is as follows.
The current shortlist is due to expire on 28 December 2009.

As mentioned above, the mobile telephone network does not cover the entire territory. According to the country PRSP ,
only 17 towns have access to mobile telephone services, which represents a population coverage rate of less than 30%.
In addition to the limited coverage of the territory, there are regular periods of outage throughout the country.

3.5 Central African Republic Food Suppliers, Accommodation and Other
Markets
Central African Republic Food Suppliers, Accommodation and Other Markets
For information on Central African Republic Food Suppliers, Accommodation and Other Markets contact details, please see the following link:
Main Food Suppliers
With the exception of maize meal, the possibility of local purchases of food is limited in the Central African Republic. Food supply is done
internationally or regionally in Cameroon. There are two local food providers in the Central African Republic, with limited production capacity.
HUSACA-MAÏSCA[1]
Details about MAÏSCA are provided at Section 14 related to milling factories in the Central African Republic.
HUSACA (Huilerie, Savonnerie Centrafricaine) is a private company specialised in the production of edible oil and soaps. Its factory is located at
Bimbo, within the same compound as MAÏSCA. HUSACA produces oil from cotton seed. Due to the low cotton production in the country, the
company envisages to produce sesame oil starting 2010.
Fortification of the oil: It should be mentioned that the oil produced by HUSACA is not fortified with vitamins A and D. However, the company has
the technical expertise to install a fortification unit.
Daily grinding capacity: 20 metric tons of cotton seed
Daily oil production capacity: 2 metric tons
Cost: 675,000 XAF/MT
[1] MAÏSCA and HUSACA are a same company.
SUCAF (Sucrerie Centrafricaine)
The Sucrerie Centrafricaine (SUCAF) is part of the CASTEL Group, which also includes MOCAF, the only brewery in the Central African
Republic. The company produces sugar and has about 18,000 hectares of sugar canes in the country. Annual production capacity: 12,000 metric
tons of sugar. Actual production capacity: 9,225 metric tons of sugar (2008). Packages: 25kg and 50kg. Cost: 532,260 XAF/MT. It should be
mentioned that the national consumption of sugar stands around 25,000 metric tons. According to an agreement with the Central African
government, when SUCAF’ production can not satisfy the domestic demand, the company is entitled to import 90% of the quantity needed and
only 10% can be imported by other companies.
Additional Operational Support
Considering the relatively poor economic context, it is impossible to carry out large (local) purchases of non-food items in the Central African
Republic. An alternative solution is to purchase NFI from Cameroon.
It should be mentioned that outside the town of Bangui, no purchase is possible.
