Enterprises decry unfair competition.
Enterprises decry unfair competition.
Manufacturing companies in Cameroon have urged government to put an end to unfair competition by stamping out smuggling and imitation of goods.
The call was made by the Executive Director of LANA Bio Cosmetics during the visit of the Minister of Employment and Vocational Training to the enterprise last Wednesday, 17 July, 2019. Ali Awada said the imitation and smuggling of cosmetic products does not only lead to unfair competition but also puts the health of Cameroonians at risk as well as dwindles the state revenue through unpaid custom duties.
Responding to the Minister’s call for companies to help government attain the objective of creating 500.000 jobs this year, he said if government could curtail these malpractices, LANA Bio Cosmetics could triple its labour force from the 500 at present to 1500 by scaling up the business.
They cited the case of Nigeria where no product is allowed into the country without the stamp of the norms and standards agency, NAFDAC, which is equivalent of ANOR in Cameroon. “NAFDAC has its own police force that enforces its decisions”, said Ali Awada.
Meanwhile Minister Issa Tchiroma congratulated the owners of the company on choosing to invest in Cameroon, saying despite the little problems witnessed, the country remains an island of peace and concord. He promised the business leaders that he would submit their complaint to the Prime Minister and Head of government as well as intercede on the behalf of the companies with other concerned ministerial departments as soon as he returns to Yaounde, so that measures to combat illegal importation and imitation of goods can be implemented. Like with SCB bank before, the Minister called on LANA Bio Cosmetics to set up a training centre which would be open to the public instead of organizing refresher courses only for its staff. He congratulated the management of LANA Bio Cosmetics on having chosen to invest in Cameroon and providing employment to Cameroonian youths.
