Candy Supplier Burundi
Burundi's 13 million consumers are served by a small, early-stage retail sector centred on Bujumbura. As a landlocked country, Burundi's import freight typically routes through the Tanzanian port of Dar es Salaam or via Kenya. Given the market's early stage of formal retail development, Candora prioritises import partners with established distribution reach in Bujumbura.
