I know our Drammeh Kunda Kebba will love to have the "Mayenaiso" factory 
in his backyard, but I must be missing something. Where would the eggs 
and oils needed to run such a factory come from? Perhaps we should 
encourage Mr. Tasbasi to rather than make mayonnaise from imported eggs, 
oil and vinegar, help us produce "Footor" (Couscous) and "monor" 
(breakfast porridge) from our very own millet.

For the first time in the history of the food manufacturing industry in 
The Gambia, plans are reportedly in high gears for the creation of a 
major mayonnaise and ketchup factory at the Kanifing Industrial Estate 
by December, this year. The products are some of the most widly consumed 
consumer goods in country, especially at restaurants and hotels.

Confirming this latest development in an interview with the Daily 
Observer, Ousman Tasbasi, a Turkish national who is the proprietor and 
managing director of Timber and Funiture Company Ltd, said the proposed 
factory is a joint venture with a Bulgarian Food Manufacturing Company.

Mr Tasbasi revealed that the project has been estimated to the tune of 
D10 million, adding that it will go a long way towards stemming the 
prices of such products in the country.

“But more importantly, it will help to reduce the quantity of imported 
foodstuff into the country. The factory will be able to produce a large 
quantity of mayonnaise and ketchup that can even be exported to some 
other ECOWAS member states,” he told the Daily Observer.

Mr Tasbasi was upbeat that the factory will also create job 
opportunities for many Gambian youths and boost the Gambian economy.

He then used the opportunity to comment on the gains of his Timber and 
Furniture Company, which according to him, has buttressed his confidence 
in the country’s investment climate.

He said since the creation of the company in 2000, it has been actively 
participating in a series of developmental issues. According to him, all 
these are possible beacuse of the support and cooperation of The Gambia 
government and its citizenry, who have been patronising his company 
since its inception.

”I will not relent in my efforts to contribute my quota in the 
development of the nation,” he said, saying that The Gambia is a 
peaceful country, where every investor should explore the vast 
opportunities it offers.
