Gabon La production de cigarettes en hausse

Article Abstract:

The Soci t des Cigarettes Gabonaise (SOCIGA) is the only company to produce cigarettes in Gabon. Coralma-Bollor owns 88% of SOCIGA, which sold 17,046 packets of cigarettes in 1997, up 12%, for CFA Fr 6.9bn, up 9.1%. SOCIGA's activity was stimulated by the higher exports to the Congo in 1997.
