The Landoma region is a basin for many coastal rivers that flow into the Atlantic. Crocodiles, hippos, manatees, and poisonous snakes swim the rivers, making it difficult for inexperienced swimmers or fishermen. Although Guinea is rich in minerals such as bauxite, iron ore, gold, and diamonds, it remains one of the poorest countries in the world, with very little income and a soaring inflation rate. As a result, many of the forests in the region are becoming depleted. Their major crops include rice, corn, potatoes, and nuts.
Many plantations also produce fruits.
Not much game is located in the area so the tribe consumes very little animal protein. Their main sources of meat are usually chickens and goats. The Landoma take products, such as oil and coconut palms, rice, bananas, vegetables, salt, and fish, to the local markets for sell or trade. Fish has become one of the most important trade items. The markets regularly receive much fresh, dried, or smoked fish from the Landoma.
