Kadiatou Samaké has been a myAgro farmer for 2 years; she farms peanuts on a ¼ hectare of her family’s farm. Last year, Kadiatou was able to save enough to purchase over one ton of peanuts to plant her field. During a recent visit, she told one of myAgro’s staff members “I am happy with the results, because I used part of my harvest to feed my family, gave some to those in need, and I kept the rest for seeds for this year.”
Kadiatou, like many women in Mali, doesn’t just farm, she is also a vendor at the Bougoula market, she sells food (like yams, beans and mangos) on market days. By participating in myAgro’s savings program and having another good harvest this year, she hopes to continue to support her family, grow the family business and sell seeds. Kadiatou hopes that myAgro will continue its work with farmers in her village so they can learn more farming techniques and benefit from its programs.
