Entreprise Esse is a cereal retailer at the Dadjidogomé Assiyeye market in Lomé, Togo. She buys beans, maize, soy, and manioc flour from widows and small farmers in towns north of Kpalimé (Adéta, Akata, Amou Oblo), providing them with a reliable sales outlet.

The market is organized into about 30 guilds that set uniform prices for each product category. Esse is part of an association of roughly 100 cereal sellers (URRCMDA) sharing a fenced, brick-built market with individual booths and night security.

She employs three deaf men to unload and store the cereal sacks, paying them per sack. With targeted support, she could expand her purchases, increase turnover, and further strengthen the livelihoods of her suppliers and employees.
