Diouf, 35, began her venture a decade ago, investing her savings to buy her own salt flats in Fatick, one of the West African nation’s biggest salt mining regions. “At the start people thought: ‘This woman will not succeed doing this’,” said Diouf, a blue scarf wrapped around her head to protect her from the sun as she worked. “But I was brave enough to tell myself I was going to succeed.”
