Be aggressive and persevere because nothing comes easily. Do not be surprised that traditional foods and health products are some of greatest assets within reach. Interact with the Diaspora as much as possible, consider joint ventures. There is more collective African wealth within the US than all African countries combined.

But I think also within that business plan, you have to make allowances for growth fueled by foreign consumer interest. As they say, think global, act local. Great site too.
