The Volta region is well suited to agriculture. Rice is the most produced item in the Volta Region, and Hohoe alone produces roughly 35% of the region's rice crop . On a walk, we were able to see some cocoa pods, mango and ginger crops. There are many other crops in the area. Farming allows people to grow and sell their items, and this area also has tourist attractions that receive funding from visitors. For example, we visited Wli Falls waterfall, and we had a tour guide who gave us information about the place as well as how to get to the falls. The monkey sanctuary and the mountain hike also employed local guides. Tourism has its own issues, such as dependence on outside visitors, but one good thing is that it provides jobs for local people in the area.
The River Dayi is a prominent geographical feature in this area. This river is prone to flooding, and a few months ago, a huge flood impacted more than 3,000 residents and submerged over half of the Zongo community . Floodwater can become contaminated and affect the water supply for local people in the region. Furthermore, during the dry season, the low flow in the rivers can impact the amount of water needed for farming.
