Our Woman Crush Wednesday, Blossom Pogbe is challenging the status quo by being good at what she does. She is a human resource professional and entrepreneur with vast experience in marketing, sales and customer relations. Blossom is currently putting in her energy and talent into growing the brand, Blossom Food Products.
Blossom Food Products has the vision to ensure healthy food products are readily available and accessible. The brand sources, processes and packages natural and unadulterated food products from known farmers, thus guaranteeing the quality of products. Two of its products – Blossom Palm Oil and Blossom Honey are NAFDAC certified and can be found on the shelves of over 30 supermarkets in Lagos, Ogun, Osun and Abuja, Nigeria. Over 40,000 units of Blossom Palm Oil have been sold across Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana, Egypt, Cyprus, the UK, the USA and Canada. Other food products from the company include honey beans, Ofada rice, Ijebu garri, plantain flour, crayfish, spices, and local snacks such as kulikuli and plantain chips; some of which are undergoing the NAFDAC certification process. Blossom Foods showcases its products at trade fairs and exhibitions, locally and internationally. The growth of the business has empowered over 50 farmers, especially by providing opportunities for women and youths.
Blossom has a passion to grow and build the capacity of others. Over the past few years, she has also trained over 120 women and youths on entrepreneurship. Through her training/coaching platforms “Beyond Ideas” and “Lifeskills”, Blossom shares her business experiences – the opportunities and the challenges – with budding entrepreneurs, showing them routes to success. She has graced the cover of several online magazines and is highly sought-after as a speaker and panellist. Blossom herself has attended several globally recognised business training courses. She is an alumna of Joseph Business School and Ignite Afrika.
This Wednesday, Pride Magazine Nigeria applauds Blossom Pogbe for her all hard work and how she has been using her platform to empower women and youths.
