MALI: SUCCESSFUL RETURN AFTER YEARS OF ADVENTUREDec3
Bamako – AFTER LIVING IN ANGOLA, INDONESIA, THE UNITED STATES AND OTHER COUNTRIES FOR MANY YEARS, SANOUSSI DECIDES TO RETURN BACK TO MALI AND DO BUSINESS.

Today Sanoussi has over 100 lactating cows, which produce 300 litres of milk daily. “Youth say that without money, we cannot start anything. Me I would say that firstly, without the will, we cannot start anything,” says Sanoussi. _THIS VIDEO HAS BEEN PRODUCED IN THE FRAMEWORK OF A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN AGRIBUSINESS TV, VITA
