The company, which sells and distributes Coca-Cola Co products in Africa, plans to introduce 50 new products in Kenya to add to more than 130 existing ones in the country, local Managing Director Daryl Wilson said in an interview. This month, the company launched a Sh7 billion ($69 million) new juice line at its Nairobi plant. It operates four bottling plants in Kenya. While Kenya’s economy offers a conducive business environment, bad rural roads take a toll on vehicles distributing products, Wilson said. Wilson urged the government to “look at opportunities to reduce (the cost of) electricity, because it’s a big component of ours.”
