Two trades that make one.

Manoir du Pays is a Togolese company that farms the land and publishes software.

The farm came first. Crops, market gardening, fruit trees and livestock occupy a remote, off-grid site in Badja. There you keep accounts, follow a team, and sell a harvest to buyers you have to find.

The software grew out of those problems. Boulo holds a small business's till and team on one phone, with no guaranteed network. Agblé opens a market where growers and buyers speak directly, with no commission and no rating.

The constraints are the same on both sides: little network, little battery, entry-level phones, and people with no time to waste on a complicated tool.
