starting a bakery business: one of the best small business ideas

Is the quality of your flour of true standard?
Flour we ship is exactly the same as the flour used by French bakeries. We do not export low-quality products because it will not bring any value to local bakeries. We want the Gambian market to identify our company and our products as regular and reliable partners to their success.

Do you ensure that the flour imported to Gambia is not one of those goods rejected from Europe?
As mentioned above, our flour is THE SAME as the one used by French bakeries. Gambian bakeries will get exactly the same bags. The bread improver incorporated in the flour is also the one used in France too. We leave low-quality flour to others. We want Gambian bakeries to try our product and come back to us, again and again. A low-quality flour is a one-time deal. A high-quality flour is a never-ending and growing partnership.

If my company depends on your company for regular supply, can you ensure that you will not later turn around and inflate your conditions thereby leaving me into difficulty?
Our goal is to become a REGULAR AND PERMANENT flour supplier for local bakeries in Gambia. Therefore, we do not intend to leave the country or change our selling conditions without meaningful reason. In fact, two primary factors could question our current offering and pricing:
- the exchange rate between the euro and the dollar: because we have costs in euros but sell to Gambian businesses in US dollars, changes in the exchange rate between the two currencies will require a price adjustment.
- a bad harvest year in France (resulting in wheat scarcity and an increase in the cost of flour mill operations)
Because those two factors can be easily checked by anybody, they guarantee full transparency of our prices in front of Gambian people.

My bakery is located in regions. Can your company help in the distribution of flour in any region?
We definitely can. We do not plan to focus our market to Banjul only. We have plans of distribution nationwide. We already conducted analysis and estimates of regional needs in order to be logistically responsive and reliable.

How can I test your flour?
One of the most influent bakery owners in the city of Banjul has just ordered a full container of our flour. More and more bakeries are using it, not only in Gambia. We schedule regular imports of flour to Gambia. Any interested person or company can contact our local branch in Banjul to purchase and test our flour (tel.: 77 88 714 or 77 77 440).
