Logba Abayeme has a population of about 300 inhabitants, while Logba Dufi has about 250 inhabitants. Farming is the main economic activity of both communities. They cultivate cash and food crops.<\/p>\n
However they lack basic infrastructure such as good roads and no health facilities. Only foot paths lead to and connect both communities.<\/p>\n
The two communities equally depend on streams and springs for their potable water supply.<\/p>\n

She hailed the contribution of the indigenes\u00a0 \u00a0for their contributions to the economy of Ghana by their commitment to farming of cash crops.<\/p>\n
