Everyone’s Talking About Its Minerals. Nohemie Mawaka is Betting on Agriculture | Ep 14

Nohemie Mawaka had the tech job, the California life, and a severance package on the way. She used it to move back to the Democratic Republic of Congo and start exporting honey.That's not the inspiring part. The inspiring part is everything that happened after — the failed German deals, the drought that wiped out her Kenyan suppliers, the first US shipment that sailed through tariffs because the buyer believed in African honey so much they ate the cost themselves.As the founder of Lubembo, Nohemie has spent four years learning what it actually means to build an export business in a country with no roads, unreliable energy, and zero agricultural reputation on the world stage. This episode is her unfiltered playbook and a challenge to every diaspora entrepreneur who's still waiting for the right conditions."Don't fear the chaos of the continent. Build in the chaos."If you've ever thought about doing business in Africa or wondered what the continent's economic future really looks like from the inside, this conversation is for you.
