During the rainy season, groundnuts are grown in Bouillagui. Without chemical fertilisers, groundnuts are grown in the sandy field. The field is first ploughed with an ox-drawn plough, it can take 2-3 days, and for 1-2 weeks the groundnuts are planted.Then the weeding begins with a small daba.
During 2 to 3 months the peanuts ripen, and then the harvest begins, around October.
Groundnuts are very important in our society, they are used daily in certain dishes and women make soaps from them.
