Women have their own farms separate from men
The occupation of the Koma people is around farming, hunting and gathering. Apart from hunting, both men and women engage in weeding and gathering as well as cultivation.
Though women often have their own farms separate from the men, both sexes sometimes help each other on their respective farms. Usually, younger children take care of the babies at home in the hills while their parents go to the valleys and plains to tend their farms.
Since markets do not exist in the hills, the Koma women usually bring their produce such as millets, guinea corn, and tobacco down for sale, particularly to the lowland-markets of Betti, Choncha and Karlahi. They then use the proceeds to buy commodities they need for their communities.
