Philémon Edmond Ballet, a palm wine collector, says, “It’s an occupation that comes from our ancestors. We were born into it, and we grew up, had children, and married our wives into it.” This community also serves as a market for palm wine, which is sold in Bangui, the capital.

Deliverer and reseller Sylvain Sacko allege, “When we leave here in the morning with our loads, we arrive in Bangui about 1 or 2 pm.” In the Central African Republic, palm wine is a highly appreciated alcoholic beverage. It is also extensively used at ceremonies in place of beer, which costs four times as much.
