Côte d'Ivoire: Brasseries Ivoiriennes aiming at increasing capacity

In a period of just over a year, Brasseries Ivoiriennes (LBI) has managed to make a breach in Solibra’s historic monopoly on the Côte d'Ivoire’s beer market, Jeune Afrique reported on September 24.

LBI started operations in the first quarter of 2013 and now is estimated to have 12% of the market. The company is planning to further expand its presence in the country by increasing its current bottling capacity of 250 thousand hl to 425 thousand hl.

Solibra is owned by the French Groupe Castel.
