Cote d'Ivoire: Philosopher and cereal processor

Aya Gazalo KOUASSI is a PhD student in philosophy. At the same time, she processes and sells maize, soybeans and rice.

Gazalo ventured into cereal processing with her aunt. With time, she developed a passion for it and created her business, today known as “Gazalo Holding”.

“With the ban on plastic packaging in Côte d'Ivoire, today we replaced plastic bags by boxes, which we can deliver easily in supermarkets, pharmacies and other places,” says Gazalo.
