Momarr Taal: Tropingo Foods I Meet a Changemaker from The Gambia

<p>In our first episode, we speak to Momarr Taal, the founder of Tropingo Foods in Gambia. Momarr has a particularly interesting story because he founded three successful businesses without ever intending to be a business person. His current business, Tropingo Foods, is not only a mango processing and exporting company and the first of its kind in Gambia, but a direct response to the breakdown in market linkages that have resulted in Africa importing back finished products for which she exports the raw material used in production. He speaks candidly on the cultural challenges he had to overcome, the different failures and resultant lessons that led him to setting up his mango factory, the role of mentorship in his success, and how he handles the mental fatigue that comes with entrepreneurship. Listen out for his golden rule that he believes every entrepreneur lives by, whether or not they know it!  </p> <p>Learn more on https://www.africax.org</p> <p>--</p> <p>#africax #africaxproject #changemaking #africa #entrepreneurship #africawinning #inspiration #sustainabledevelopment #sdgs #changemakers #yesfoundersfoundation #startups #africanstartups #businessinafrica #innovation #innovationinafrica #socialentrepreneurship #socialentrepreneurs #gambia #tropingofoods #momarrtaal</p>
