Senegal's salt queen tastes success in a man's world. More here:
FATICK, Senegal - Marie Diouf has built a business gathering salt from marshland she bought in Senegal, succeeding in a trade where most marsh owners are men and earning her the nickname “Salt Queen”.
But there’s a twist to the product she sells because she adds iodine, which helps brain development in young children. Most locally produced salt lacks the chemical. Canadian-based NGO Nutrition International trained Diouf on the process. Diouf, dubbed the “Salt Queen” by locals, said women do not usually own shares in the salt flats. Now she employs men and women on her marshland.
