Packaging in South Africa: a Hall of Fame perspective

摘要

The South African packaging industry has always had good growth within the agricultural market for local and exported fruits. Europe and the Far East were good markets that [enabled] the farming community to expand. The largest difference between the South African and U.S. markets is in the area of packaging volumes. The South African population numbers about 50 million, with many of the people residing in rural areas without access to large retail stores. This is changing as urbanization takes place. Migration from African countries to South Africa is also a factor.
