About

A Guinean industry that elevates the nation.

From Guinea's natural resource to a modern industrial product — safe and compliant with international standards.

Our story

Born from the will to build a national industry.

FÖKHÈ was born from a single conviction: Guinea can process its own resources into high-quality products. Where salt had long been consumed raw and inconsistent, FÖKHÈ chose to build a genuine industrial refinery.

In Boffa, natural Guinean salt is cleaned, refined, dried, iodised and inspected to become a modern food-grade salt — purified, sand-free and enriched with iodine, in the service of public health.

This ambition goes beyond the product: creating local jobs, showcasing Guinean expertise and, in time, building an African brand capable of exporting.
