Karmé is a municipality in the province of Hadjer Lamis, in Chad.
The Karmé cattle market is a place of exchange of live animals or animal products between producers, buyers, resellers and exporters.
This market was built by the Chadian Ministry of Livestock and Animal Productions, as part of the Regional Project to Support Pastoralism in the Sahel (PRAPS-Chad) with funding from the World Bank.

This completely changes the way each weekly market is held in this town.
After the construction works, such an infrastructure passes under the control of the beneficiaries in the form of a management committee.
There, everyone says "Coges".
