The chances of success for a long-established Japanese condiment manufacturer venturing into the untapped African market.Protected: オタフクソース株式会社 Mr.
Otafuku Sauce Co., Ltd., headquartered in Hiroshima, is a seasoning manufacturer that distributes its products to over 50 countries worldwide. While it had previously focused on exports to Europe, the Americas, and Asia, the African and Middle Eastern markets remained untapped. In this context, Otafuku Sauce has adopted STANDAGE's "Leave it to us" trading service, which includes local support, and has now gained a foothold in the Nigerian market.
