Bahsoon Café: Coffee Made in Salone
Bahsoon Foods Company ltd (BFC ltd) was formed in April 2006 with an objective to process, manufacture and package foods using produce grown in Sierra Leone for marketing and supplying initially to the West African Sub Region and Europe in the case of coffee.
In any Food Industry, emphasis should be placed on Good Manufacturing Practices, and as such, the Management of BFC ltd contacted the Sierra Leone Standards Bureau and the Sierra Leone Pharmacy Board for their approval and recommendations in the building of the factory and installation of appropriate machinery. The Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security has provided a Nutritionist to be attached to the company with special supervisionary responsibility for the processing and production of baby Food.
Raw materials required for production are bought direct from the growers thereby cutting out middle-men and ensuring the growers get maximum return for their product. It is estimated that the factory will be using 250 tons of coffee, 40 tons of Sesame, 30 tons of Beans, 30 tons of Rice and 10 tons of Sugar per annum, thereby creating a market for the farmer/grower.
two products that will be launched by the 20th April 2007:
