Ba came to Canada in August 1987. He explored the opportunities to export gum Arabic, African black soap, cotton oil, cotton fiber, tropical flowers, handy crafts, and palm oil. When Ba was in Africa, he was an agricultural worker. He helped groups to export raw and processed agricultural products to international markets. He has 8 years of experience doing this and one day Ba thought to himself, “Why don’t I import this Fair Trade to Canada and US? This way, I can help to provide jobs and education for my people.”

Ba wanted to bring fair-trade African products to Canada and the U.S. while creating jobs and supporting education for people in his home communities.
