Rural market day in Togo where people still practice the trade by barter system. No cash allowed

Come with me to a rural market in Togo , where a lot of people still practice trade by barter.

[@user-wg7lz2fr8x]

1 USD = 609 CFA-Franc is that ok?

[@christellesafricanlifestyl5834]

Exactly 💯

[@Seren_ity22]

This is very interesting.

[@Flourish_today]

This is such a good way of living, especially in rural communities, where some people go to sleep hungry. At least with this kind of trading, everyone is motivated to plant crops, which they can use to trade. That way, everyone has a meal.

[@christellesafricanlifestyl5834]

Exactly you can trade your commodities for whatever you want. It makes life easier for them

[@user-wg7lz2fr8x]

Togo is so exotic and the clothes are so colorful, full of joy!

I really really really need to visit Togo.........

[@christellesafricanlifestyl5834]

It's a beautiful country 😍

[@ericnuamah3457]

If they refuse to take money, could you buy something from someone who wants to sell for money and then barter with for what you actually need? It must be convenient for them to do that as on an island they cannot spend the money which they would get selling their things. An interesting concept though...surprised the young girl refusing to sell for money. She must have been told not to do that.

[@christellesafricanlifestyl5834]

Definitely. I'm sure she was told by her parents not to sell anything. Most of the items she was trading for, the owners don't accept money either maybe that's why.

[@dinabalumka7880]

I want to know about togoville…. The lifestyle!

[@christellesafricanlifestyl5834]
