Añadido: 2026-05-11

[00:00:11][music] [music] Hello everyone. Welcome back to the channel and welcome to another busy day here with me in Togo. We are in the Voggan market. I came here to get some oil for a client. I want to get about 50 lit of authentic palm oil. So please, if you are enjoying the village market vlogs, like, comment, share, and subscribe. Yeah, let's go around and see the cost of living in a village market here in Togo. It's very vibrant, beautiful. You guys are going to enjoy every bit of it. Yeah, let's go around and have fun. As you guys can see, so busy.

[00:01:06]The Voggan market is known for having a lot of animals and fresh food, you know.

[00:01:18]Wow. Here we have the planting.

[00:01:29]>> [music] >> I don't know.

[00:01:51]Wow.

[00:01:58]3,0005 for this blanket.

[00:02:19]I just bought about two of these for 5,500.

[00:02:39]Ow.

[00:02:46]Did I get so Come on.

[00:03:19][music] Open.

[00:03:32]So usually when I get orders for palm oil, I usually come to the vuga market because this market they will give you price and you are very certain that they are the one doing the palm oil unlike other market that you just see gallons of palm oil and you cannot really tell where it's coming from. So here you are getting the real deal. That's why I usually come here to get h every single order I get from palm oil and coconut oil as well because what they sell here is authentic. Palm oil is a bit cheaper now as compared to uh the last few months.

[00:04:14]Let me ask you please.

[00:04:37]Did you see 20 gallon?

[00:04:40]>> 20 gallon.

[00:04:54]Personally, I want to stock palm oil this year and resell because there are times that the 25 lit will go to 26 27,000. Right now, it's at 20,000, but when it gets to like 18,000 France, personally, I'll buy. So she told me maybe next week the price might get to 18,000 CR then I'll buy and and store because this is when it's really cheap in the market so that in some few months time you can see and make profit. That's how we do it here.

[00:05:30]I'll be returning next week.

[00:05:33]Yeah.

[00:05:41]Presently they are renovating the Vogan market.

[00:05:57]You can see like new shades everywhere.

[00:06:02]Can you see them? Before they didn't have all these.

[00:06:06]The market is looking [music] very clean.

[00:06:12]Even though they have new shades, some people prefer selling in here because uh the shades here are not that expensive. It's done by them and it's free. But maybe if you want to sell in the modern shades, you have to pay for it. So they prefer selling here.

[00:06:36]The shits that are here are done by the market women.

[00:06:40]All these ones, all these structures is done by them and they sell here for free. They can pay like 50 France ticket or 100 France ticket per market day. But the other modern ones are quite expensive.

[00:07:07]>> [music] >> Jessie [music] I like to get palm oil that is manually done here in the village.

[00:07:43]>> I don't I don't like buying the ones that come from other countries. I like the ones that done here in there was this time I got palm oil. It was as [music] hard as candle, you know.

[00:08:06]It wasn't It will melt immediately. It will be hard like candle.

[00:08:21]And this is the animal market.

[00:08:24]They don't have a lot of pigs today.

[00:08:26]Sometimes when you come here, there are so many pigs, but today they don't have a lot. Wow.

[00:28:24]So usually when I get to the market I usually try to get samples and if I try the samples and they are really nice I usually come back to the person if I want to buy like wholesale price because it's not really good to just go and buy wholesale at once without trying. So it's better to get samples you try them if they are good then you can always come back to buy. You will notice that most of the shades are empty.

[00:28:50]Uh it's because I came early. Usually people get to the market by 10 11 everywhere will be so full. But because I came early that's why you see that the market is quite empty.
