Now it is a very quiet nation to vocation agricultural, that however allows also good export, as for the cotton, the cocoa, coffee and the peanuts. It is one of the majors worldwide phosphate producers.
The country is interesting for its cultures and for its rites, its populations and its customs.

Some northern zones of the country present spontaneous spectacular architectures (true castles of clay and straw as in the Tamberma villages) and very beautiful populations from the hearty welcome and the easy smile.
