Goods comeusually from Kumba and are distributed in other villages through the efforts of traders inManyemen and Nguti towns.

Agricultural output is usually sold within thecouncil area however some of these are sold in neighbouring localities such as Konye.Table 20: Prices for Basic CommoditiesCommoditiesPrices( fcfa)Nguti Town KumbaBread (Kumba Bread) 300 300Sugar(Pk) 900 700Milk(peak Powder) 3000 2500Ovaltine 3000 2500Rice(Cup) 100 100Plantains(Bunch) 2500 1500Cocoyams (heap of 5) 500 200Maggi ( 4 cubes) 50 50Groundnuts (cup) 100 100Egusi (cup/cracked) 250 300Battery 350 350Candle 100 100Matches 25 25Water (Tangui) 500 400Basic Drugs(Paracetamol) 10 25Bathing Soap 250 250Palm Oil(litre) 500 500Garri (cup) 50 50Beer 500 450Egg 100 75Cigarettes (pk)NTFPRemote Nguti KumbavillagesNjansang (Cup) 200 250 400Kola Nut( Bucket) 2500 - 6000Bush pepper (cup) 300 - 500Bush Mango (Bucket) 4000 - 7000Traders come mainly from littoral, other parts of South West and the Federal Republic ofNigeria.38

Otheractivities providing self help opportunities include roadside sellers of fuel, mechanics, carpenters,builders, electricians, shoe menders, tailors, buyam sellams and petit traders. Palm oil processingis done manually in a few villages including Badun (where an individual owns more that 10hectares of palms) New Konye, Nkwenfor, Ediengo, Betock, and Mboka. Buyers from Kumbaengaged purchases directly in the farms consequently figures of transactions are unavailable evenat the level of the council. There is also palm oil processing in Mbetta area where the RDARDrecently donated a palm oil processing unit. Several women are involved in restoration servicesaround major off licenses (drinking spots) in Manyemen and Nguti towns.Life in the municipality is generally very slow indeed. Businesses are not open until about 8amand they close before 9pm. During the rains it is possible to find a general shut down by 6pm.Prices of goods and services are relatively high due to several hidden costs incurred by those whoventure into business activities. The absence of a road network linking villages of themunicipality, lack of electricity, absence of portable water and storage facilities are contributingfactors to the very slow pace of activities in the area.39
