As son of a diplomat from Gambia, Momar Taal admired his father’s job and always wanted to follow in his footsteps and become a diplomat too. This all changed when he was studying for undergraduate in Economics and Development in a Canadian University.
Already a budding serial entrepreneur based in Canada, Taal moved back to Gambia in 2011 to try and seal a gap he had seen as a university student in the Africa’s Agriculture sector where most of the produce from the continent was exported in its raw form to be processed in foreign countries.
Coming from Gambia, a nations that is big on producing groundnuts, the 27-year-old entrepreneur quickly set up a groundnut processing firm known as Tripingo Food.
“We process and export groundnuts and do mango processing as well,” Taal told Africa.co in an interview.
“I was studying international development and I found out in Africa what was lacking in Agriculture and finished goods. So value addition. I saw it as an opportunity and saw it as a duty to come and fill that gap and be one of the people that push this new wave of African entrepreneurship
