This is a first pass, not a complete map of the market. Absence of a record here is not evidence that nothing applies. Nothing in this brief carries a named expert's judgement yet, so every reading is a document or a measurement, never somebody's experience of selling here.
Not fatal. Enough to make a launch feel harder than it should.
Prices in Djibouti are quoted in whole DJF: the currency carries no decimal places in circulation, so a 9.99 price point does not exist and the psychological break has to move up to a whole unit.
A price architecture built on two decimal places does not survive the move to a currency without them.
In Djibouti, the week is counted from Saturday, so a promotional calendar, a delivery window or a weekly sales report cut on the Monday-to-Sunday assumption is cut against the wrong week.
Anything scheduled weekly lands on the wrong days when the week is assumed rather than read.
Djibouti has 2 nationally official languages: French at 50%, Arabic at 7.3%. A single-language pack leaves part of the market unaddressed.
Which language leads on the pack decides how much of the market can read what it is buying.
