@6:45 (HOLD MY NOSE) - a.k.a. - they were colonial collaborators and exploited the land before it even got its independence. Thus, they have a HUGE head start on Sierra Leoneans who were not able to enter into these fields until after independence. So let's give our brothers and sisters some time to make the same learning mistakes and business practices that the Lebanese have had a large head start at.
He did a great job of explaining the business and I think he has done well. I would like to keep these comments specific to the business.
I am a big fan of Capitol Foods. They have good quality bottled products. I have wondered why no one has bottled Palm Wine yet? Or perhaps they have and I missed it.
It would be great to see a tour of Capitol Foods facilities
Oh yes the tour is coming on Sunday. I am doing the one in Grafton and then I will have some footage from the one in Kenema.
@@AuthenticAfrican I hope they begin to export the Sierra juice brand throughout ECOWAS if they have not already
@@AuthenticAfrican I would like to see the farm operations if possible as well
They have talked about it. We will see what happens.
I will see what I can do about that.
It's good to see these opportunities in Salone!
Yes Sir!
Nice work bro
Thanks for the visit
Good interview. Thank you.
Glad you like it. Thanks for watching.
Very nice to see the opportunities in sierra leone. Wel done capitol food. This has give me more fire in my stomach. Waiting for the next part.
Looking forward to sharing it.
Nice interview. Respect for all who are engaged in Value Added businesses in the country. Oh by the way work on the AUDIO. Cheers and continued success on this channel.
Agreed...I did buy new mics to take care of this issue. Trust me you will really like the sound on my new videos.
I’m impressed about the cacao exportation. How many bags does he export per month. Also, does he encourage them to do more plantation of it for the business sustainability? Coz he really need to in order to expand the production of it in more larger scale. And also, what country he largely exporting it to? Lastly I will like to have a view of the cacao factory.
mostly going to Netherlands. You may be right about expansion. He is working on that as we speak.
Hmmm
Great interview
How can I get his contact information or reach him?

Thank you.
Bro nice interview but work on your sound before doing the interview. Sounds is really messed up. Come on man, you can do better.
Yes I know. I have mics now. There was a ton of background noise so we had to try reduce it.
@@AuthenticAfrican Do your best next time for your viewers. Looking forward to come to Sierra Leon. One love brother
"come on man, you can do better" wasn't necessary, frack is wrong with u?
@@lansken lmao for real though
@@lansken it’s called CONSTRUCTIVE criticism! It was done in good faith. He can take it or leave I’ll.
I really hope the Sierra Leonian businesspeople get it together one day🙄😒
We are all hoping so.
They have something like a 50 year head start on us... We'll catch up
Even 100 years. However, our business folks need to have standards for how we do things. There is much to be desired.
