Watermelon harvest


Farming is the main occupation in the districts. Major products are yams, maize, groundnuts and mangoes. Produce in the market is seasonal - the glut of yellow mangoes and huge buttery avocado pears is followed by pineapples, water melons and oranges which are peeled and squeezed to suck the juice. Other popular snacks are boiled or roasted maize cobs and fresh groundnuts boiled in their pods.
