BISSORA, GUINEA BISSAU
About 6,000 people live in the city of Bissoră and the villages around. At least 70% of the population in Guinea Bissau lives in the rural areas, where the main income comes from subsistence agriculture. Most farmers produce only enough for their own family consumption, and a minimum is produced for sale and for surplus.
