Economic Activities'

Though traditionally hunters, honey gatherers and later pastoralists, population pressure and inaccessibility to the forest has forced many of them to change their lifestyle and economic activities. Since many lost their land to conservation, they carry out small scale farming, livestock rearing as well as small scale enterprises. Major crops grown are maize, Irish potatoes, wheat, barley, beans, peas and bananas. Diary animals are also widely kept, this is a major source of income to families since milk can be sold and it is cost effective to keep dairy animals in a small space.
