Manufacturing of EPS food packaging in Nigeria Thermoware Particle Foam Machinery B.V. (Thermoware) specializes in the development and production of systems for the manufacturing of foam products. These production systems consist of the necessary machines as well as the moulds required for the production of foam products. The foam products are often used as packaging material in the food processing and pharmaceutical industry. In addition, Thermoware equipment can also be used to make parts that can be used in the construction or automotive sector.The Nigerian company Polystyrene Industries Ltd. produces high quality polystyrene panels for the construction industry in Nigeria. A few years ago, this company bought a second-hand R&D machine from Thermoware with which small volumes of drinking cups can be produced (pilot production) and with which Thermoware could also reach a different target group (supermarkets, fast food chains and the food processing industry). Now Polystyrene sees the demand for cups, trays and insulating (food) packaging increasing strongly in Nigeria and they see that the local food-producing companies often cannot supply supermarkets and fast-food chains because they cannot meet the requirements with regard to packaging. This is an opportunity for Polystyrene. In order to diversify and scale up and to produce packaging materials themselves, a complete production facility will have to be set up, which requires new machines and moulds. To this end, Polystyrene approached Thermoware and asked whether they could supply the technology or production lines.

Unfortunately, the event had to be postponed, because of safety issues.On June 7, 2023 CERF had the opportunity to organize this event in Abuja. This was a joint event to showcase the opportunities of climate mitigation in Nigeria for government to government cooperation, enterpreneurs, for jobs and for access to energy.There was lots of enthusiasm for the event, around 200 people participated. The timing of the event was good, because the new government had not yet been formed. Therefore, it was the right time to position climate mitigation as an important topic. Besides opportunities, there was also discussion about challenges and how to scale good practices and innovations.The event had a lot of positive PR in news papers and on social media.

Agri-food sector study Philippines The Philippines has relatively strong macroeconomic fundamentals, a high local demand from its 102 million consumers, and steady economic growth of 5 to 6% per year. The middle class is developing. The demand for safe, quality and more convenient food is rising fast. The underdeveloped Filipino agriculture sector is yet unable to supply this domestic demand.Generally, the Philippines' agriculture sector has been neglected and has grown much slower than the overall economy; there have been significant problems concerning inefficient production, agro-logistics and climate change adaptation and mitigation, among others. The Philippines is a net importer of food products. The domestic price level of food is high. On average, people spend 40% of their household money on food. For poor people, this is even higher.With the focus shift on sustainable development, the Embassy is interested in finding information regarding areas in the agri-food sector. That would benefit from Dutch private sector involvement. That would lead to a win-win solution for the Netherlands and the Philippines.The study will be useful for the Embassy in promoting specific agri-food trade and investment opportunities in the Philippines that would benefit from Dutch expertise and technologies that stimulate sustainable development and inclusive growth.In addition, the outcome of the study would provide the Ministry of Economic Affairs with additional information that can help in deciding whether or not to include the Philippines in the field of work of an Agricultural Counsellor. The focus will be given to agribusiness policy issues such as veterinary and phytosanitary market access issues and Smart Climate Agriculture and Food Security.
