Methodology
Our report draws on our shopper panel in Africa, which tracks the actual packaged food products consumers in Zimbabwe are purchasing and consuming. Paired with data from our retail audits in Africa, this view of household consumption can be cross-checked against what’s actually happening on shelf.
Online panel members from Zimbabwe scan packaged food products on a daily basis with our dedicated app to capture features such as SKU details (category, brand, format, size, unit), barcode, picture, etc.
