The peasant farmers could sell much more, but the plantations only yield profits in the second year, and only then are the farmers in a position to lay out further fields and increase production.

That said, there is another important reason for the low production: the soil is very low in nutrients.

The farmers can only obtain the high quantities of organic fertiliser they require by purchasing cattle dung.

Die Plantagen werfen jedoch erst im zweiten Jahr Gewinn ab und erst dann können die Bauern weitere Felder anlegen und die Produktion erhöhen.

Die tiefe Produktion hat jedoch einen weiteren gewichtigen Grund: Die Böden sind sehr nährstoffarm.

Den hohen Bedarf an organischem Dünger können die Bauern nur decken, indem sie Kuhdung zukaufen.
