I started growing vanilla in 2018 and, so far, I have harvested three consecutive years. As a young person, I decided to venture into vanilla farming to generate income to support my family and meet household needs. Vanilla farming and working with nei have enabled me to pay school fees for my children and cover daily living expenses.

nei supported me from the outset by providing seedlings and training on planting and maintenance. Most of my time is spent on farm-related activities, as I grow various crops, which keeps me busy out in the field. The main challenge currently is the price.
