HEI: Niger is one of the poorest countries in the world. About 90% of the population of Niger is engaged in agriculture and livestock herding. Primary crops are millet, cotton, cow peas, peanuts, sorghum, cassava, and rice. Animals raised include cattle, sheep, goats, camels, donkeys, horses, and poultry. Niger receives a lot of international help. Four fifths of Niger is the Sahara desert. Droughts happen a lot because of the Sahara. For fun people wrestle and play soccer. There are annual tournaments for wrestling.
