The village studied has little socio-economic differentation
and is almost entirely dependent on groundnut cultivation.
Because of the dense population, irregular rainfall, poor soil
and lack of new land for cultivation, the food supply is inadequate;
this has induced an increase in millet production at
the expense of groundnut cultivation. Labor data were collected
from four representative households for more than a year. The
division of work between men and women is presented. Discusses
the reciprocal obligation involved in cooperative agriculture.

This study analyzes both national and international markets
for vegetables. The author notes that although exports, have
increased dramatically since 1972, when a foreign company started
to produce vegetables on a plantation scale, future expansion of
exports is limited by a shortage of sea transport. Attention is
given to increasing fresh vegetable production through better
organization, packaging, quality control and judicious varietal
selection.
