Marketplace of Médine: Where Everything is Made and Sold

Adama Konaté sells imported bicycles from France, the United States, England, Canada, and China, but also repairs and assembles new bicycle frames at the new Médine market.
The vendor also sells other items on the ‘Diguèbakonona’ square of the new market, such as vehicle accessories and difficult-to-find agricultural equipment.
His neighbor, Drissa Traoré, is an artisan who offers various articles to customers, including fourneaux, trousseau coffrets for weddings, and arachide grinders made on-site.
Traoré has been working at the new market for over a year and earns a good living.
He praises his current situation, saying that he is grateful to God and that life was better before.
When asked about the price of equipment, Traoré states that it varies depending on the model.
He concludes by inviting young people to be disciplined in their work.
Fousseyni Sangaré, a seller of agricultural equipment, says that customers come to buy various farm equipment, such as charrues, dabas, and other tools for working the soil.
Sangaré also mentions that this year they face difficulties in delivering equipment due to security issues in some areas of Mali.
He thanks his loyal clients who continue to support him despite the economic downturn.
Adama Konaté, a bicycle seller, says that he has been repairing and selling bicycles for 27 years.
Konaté offers various bike models with varying prices depending on their features.
He attributes the market’s current boom to the crisis in the hydrocarbon industry.
