    Geography<\/h2>\n

    Lower Manya Krobo lies in the south-east of the Eastern Region, on the western bank of the Volta
    \nbetween the Krobo hills and the river. The Kpong headpond and the lower Volta floodplain mark its eastern
    \nedge, and the ground rises westward toward the Krobo and Yilo ridges. Akuse and Kpong sit on the river; the
    \nolder settlements cluster on the higher land behind them.<\/p>\n

    It shares boundaries with Yilo Krobo<\/a> to the west, Upper Manya Krobo<\/a> to the north and
    \n    Asuogyaman<\/a> across the river to the east.<\/p>\n

    Rainfall comes in two seasons, heavier from April to July and again in the autumn, and the lower
    \nVolta plain here is drier than the forest districts further west. The Krobo mountain, the group’s historic
    \nsettlement site before the move to the plains, stands above the towns.<\/p>\n

    Economy and Local Life<\/h2>\n

    Farming is the main livelihood: cassava, maize, pepper, okra, tomatoes and mangoes, with irrigated
    \nplots near the river. River and lake fishing adds to it around Akuse and Kpong. The market at Agomanya is the
    \nbest known in the area and the centre of the Krobo glass-bead trade, which recycles glass into powder-glass
    \nbeads sold across Ghana and abroad. Bead making, small-scale trading and transport work along the main road
    \ngive the municipality more non-farm income than most districts of its size.<\/p>\n

    Odumase Krobo holds the municipal offices, the main hospital and several second-cycle schools, and
    \nKpong has long been a river and rail transfer point. Dipo, the Krobo initiation rite for girls, is still
    \nobserved in the towns each year and draws family members home.<\/p>\n

    Getting There<\/h2>\n

    Odumase Krobo is roughly 80 km from Accra on the Accra–Ho road, through Somanya. Shared taxis and
    \ntrotros run continuously between Somanya, Agomanya, Odumase and Kpong, and the same road continues east over
    \nthe Volta at the Adomi Bridge.<\/p>\n
