We heard a lot about agriculture being the primary industry at every West African country that we visited. We passed many places that were growing some fruits or vegetables. But most of the "farms" that we passed didn't seem like much of a farm to me until we got to this farm on Fogo Island. This was a real farm by any standards. I found it interesting in that our local guide called it a "nursery" and not a farm. It wasn't a huge place but it was very organized and seemed very efficient.

The next field is growing onions, but I really liked their papaya trees which were scattered around the farm. In the following photo, those were the highest and biggest papaya trees that I've ever seen. I have no idea how they manage to pick the ripe papayas.

This was the end of our Fogo Island and Cape Verde visit. Next, we sailed back to the West African mainland and visited The Gambia.
