KONE DJO

FARMER FROM DAN, BURKINA FASO

I eat the cashew apple. Preferably raw!

"I farm three hectares of land with corn, niébé and cashews. My mother-in-law, my brother-in-law and my children help me with the field work," explains Kone Djo. It is difficult to find farm workers, she says. "I notice that more and more people are going to school or to the city. This means there are fewer people to help with the harvest." Kone Djo would like to acquire farming equipment to make her work easier. “Whether it's a tractor or a plough, anything would help us work more efficiently."
