Canned food includes eight subcategories: canned soy sauce, canned dessert, fish and canned seafood, canned fruit, canned meat, canned noodle, canned soup and canned vegetables. For example, Nigerians prefer canned tomato paste, and Algeria people have endless love for letinous edodes cans.

 

However, as a result of the overall processing capacity of the local canned food in Africa, as the African food processing industry is still in the primary stage of development, most of the cans sold in the local supermarket in Africa are imported cans, including canned fruit, canned jam and canned aquatic products. With tomato sauce for example, Nigeria has a high output of tomato, but due to lack of processing capacity, the ketchup is still dependent on a large number of imports. At present, about 190 thousand tons of tomato sauce must be imported every year.

Most of the small and medium-sized cities in China have relevant wholesale food markets. Some African buyers will also buy the necessary commodities through relevant exhibitions, such as South Africa International Food Exhibition.
