He therefore started exploring simpler industries and eventually settled on bottled mineral water.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:23.4pt;margin-left:0cm;background:white;box-sizing: border-box;font-size:0.975rem'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black'>“I spent some time in the capital Niamey talking to the local and expat community and looked at the various products in the market. There were about three bottled water companies, but people didn’t know much about the quality of the water they were drinking. They didn’t know about these companies’ quality processes and certifications – they were simply drinking the water. The only alternative was imported Evian, which was five times more expensive. I therefore spotted a gap for a water brand focused on quality and transparency,” he explains.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:23.4pt;margin-left:0cm;background:white;box-sizing: border-box;font-size:0.975rem'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black'>Towards the end of 2014, his newly formed company, called Belvie, launched the Belvie Eau Minerale Naturelle water brand.

Instead of competing on price, the company focused on winning over customers through a higher quality product. From the get-go, it implemented rigorous physical and chemical testing to ensure the safety and consistency of the water. Its factory is also ISO 22000 certified.

But, according to Garg, even some consumers in lower income brackets are prepared to dig a bit deeper into their wallets for quality. “We have seen more people now actually spending on bottled water instead of sachet water, especially pregnant ladies or mothers buying for their young children. A lot of people are buying it as a health product,” he says.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:23.4pt;margin-left:0cm;background:white;box-sizing: border-box;font-size:0.975rem'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black'>He adds that the acceptance of Belvie’s bottled water debunks the notion that consumers in frontier markets don’t recognise the importance of quality assurance and certifications.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:23.4pt;margin-left:0cm;background:white;box-sizing: border-box;font-size:0.975rem'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black'>For its Nuvo carbonated drinks brand, which is aimed at the highly price-sensitive mass market, Belvie doesn’t have much room to move in terms of pricing.

Nigerien manufacturers face significant competition from soft drinks brought into the country from neighbouring Nigeria. The companies exporting these beverages to Niger face a lower tax burden. Moreover, products are often brought in illegally. In certain outlying areas, the imported products sell for considerably less than locally produced brands. For instance, one of Belvie’s soft drink bottles retails for 200 CFA franc in a city close to the border, but the product from Nigeria sells for 150 CFA franc. According to Garg, the only way to deal with this challenge is to compete on quality and to count on customers staying loyal to its brand.<o:p></o:p></span></p><h4 style='mso-margin-top-alt:18.7pt;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:2.5pt;margin-left:0cm;background:white;box-sizing: border-box;line-height:initial;font-size:1.25rem;-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased'><b><span style='font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black'>Distribution: A two-pronged approach</span></b><span style='font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></h4><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:23.4pt;margin-left:0cm;background:white;box-sizing: border-box;font-size:0.975rem'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black'>Throughout sub-Saharan Africa, the majority of FMCG products are sold through informal channels, such as markets, kiosks and street hawkers. This makes distribution a complex exercise. However, those who ignore the informal markets are missing out on a significant share of potential revenue.

The market for bottled water is mostly limited to the capital Niamey, which accounts for a majority of the sales.

It has a fleet of trucks that deliver directly to retailers, hotels, military bases, restaurants and corporate customers.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:23.4pt;margin-left:0cm;background:white;box-sizing: border-box;font-size:0.975rem'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black'>But to get its mass-market soft drink brands into the hands of consumers throughout the country, Belvie relies on multi-product beverages distributors, which disseminate it to informal retailers. “We have distributors in all major cities outside of Niamey, who further distribute in their local areas. For water, it is feasible to do it on your own in Niamey, but for soft drinks, which has a market of at least six times as big as the water – this is not feasible.
