Cookshop Market Spotlight: Browne's Red Palm Oil
Meet Dutor Browne, a local trader of natural red palm oil and a Cookshop alumnus.
Before he joined the Cookshop team in 2015, Dutor worked as a commercial motorcyclist in Monrovia. The country's economy was reeling from the previous year's crisis, and we were taking on the challenge to create Liberia's first viable e-commerce business. Dutor came along for the ride, and, as Cookshop grew so did he, expanding his skills first as a delivery agent, then as a call center agent, and lastly as an office manager in charge of our delivery team and vehicles.
Inspired to apply his skills to his own venture, he founded Browne's Red Palm Oil in 2018, currently serving four major clients in Montserrado with natural palm oil sourced from Grand Bassa, Bomi, Bong, and Rivercess counties. Taking advantage of our online marketplace to offer his product to customers previously out of reach, Dutor has made a major leap from employee to vendor!
