They are subsistence farmers...
Whose social system is based on collective ownership and use of the land. It is organized through lineages, whose elders monopolize the exchanges that pay fines and dowries.
Such an organization is totally opposed to the individual search for profit.*
Lineage elders send young members to fetch the kola.
Being in direct contact with the merchants
strengthens them at first.
