Mangrove honey and oysters: Saloum Delta's women and young makers meet Dakar's buyers

In Dakar, producers from Senegal's Saloum Delta set out their mangrove honey, oysters and ark clams in front of the people who could put them on menus and shelves — hotel buyers, restaurants and distributors. The 'Made in the Saloum Delta' showcase, held on 10 October, is part of an International Labour Organization project backed by Germany's development ministry that trains women and young people in green jobs tied to the delta's mangroves: skills, business organisation, routes to market and social protection. For families whose income grows out of healthy mangroves, a buyer in the capital is not just a sale — it is one more reason the mangroves stay standing.
