Taking produce to market Feb 07, 1920 Kongolo, Belgian Congo
Early on Saturday morning the natives on the east side of the river come across to the market. Here they arrange goods inside of a fence and the natives buy - sellers inside, buyers outside. The thing most in demand seems to be roasted manihot, of which great quantities are sold - and eagerly bought by the natives. Here all types are found. The chief products are manihot (roasted roots), leaves, native eggplant, corn, peanuts, dried fish, oil nuts, beans. [Shantz travel journal, Feb. 7, 1920]
