FARIDA: We can’t produce even half of that on Mama Mjuni’s farm and with the number of women in the group. STELLA: (EXCITED) But we don’t need you to produce even half of that! We have different buyers, but we can reach an agreement for you to produce a small portion of that number, let’s say 90 to 100 sacks. FARIDA: Yes, that’s a reasonable number. I think we can pull that off. Don’t you think so, Jenny? (DOUBTFUL) I don’t know, Farida. It’s a lot of work to produce that much. Plus, let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. We still need to talk to Mama Mjuni about the proposition of using her land. STELLA: Yes, you are right. I think you guys should go ahead and talk to Mama Mjuni first.
