About us

A Cameroonian FMCG company with a continental ambition

Bansa Foods Limited (BFL) specialises in the manufacture and distribution of beverages and food products. We are a wholly owned Cameroonian business within the Bako Group, one of Africa's leading diversified conglomerates.

Our core business

Bansa Foods manufactures and markets a broad range of beverage and food products: fruit spirits such as rum and brandy, jams and syrups, fruit juices and nectars, carbonated soft drinks, bottled water, dairy-based beverages, edible oils and milled staples.

Our manufacturing and operational facilities are located in Cameroon, Nigeria and Ghana, with principal operations situated along the Lagos–Badagry Expressway in Abule Oshun. Together they give us the scale to serve retail, wholesale and food-service customers reliably, season after season.

Beyond manufacturing, Bansa Industries is engaged in farming, food processing, investment, education and agritourism — an integrated model that shortens supply chains and creates opportunity along every link of them.

Leadership

Our leadership team combines deep manufacturing experience with an operator's understanding of African trade. The priority is simple and unchanging: build plants that run well, brands that people trust, and a supply chain that pays farmers fairly.

“Africa should not export raw produce and import finished food. Everything we build is a step away from that.”

Quality and food safety

Traceable sourcing

Raw materials are traced back to the estate or outgrower cooperative that produced them.

Controlled processing

In-line testing at every critical control point, from intake to filling and sealing.

Protected distribution

Temperature-aware warehousing and batch tracking through to the point of sale.
