Cameroon in need of Asian Large scale Agro-Industries and Processing plants partnering with local businesses and concern government of Cameroon department using STARTUP CAMEROON BUSINESS INVESTMENT SCHEME - (STAC: [email protected]) Cameroon will spend 6.5 billion FCFA for the improvement of agricultural research in 2015, will on Monday with the Institute for Agricultural Research for Development (IRAD). A balanced budget revenue and expenditure to 12.2 billion CFA francs, more than 50 percent is allocated to agricultural research. This envelope a mean increase of 2.5 billion CFA francs compared to the previous year, representing 53.1 per cent in relative terms. In a statement received APA IRAD explained that this increase is due in large part to the inclusion of the special allocation of 500 million CFA francs granted by the government for seed quantity in production improved base of high impact speculation. Production landlocked basins, difficult access to inputs, lack of funding, the sector still has, despite its potential, many shortcomings. The agriculture sector in Cameroon has significant potential including non-utilized agricultural land, a hydraulic network, irrigable land and abundant human resources, a stock and a large variety of forest and wildlife resources as well as a dynamic some rural populations grouped ICM and cooperatives. The latest news in the sector is precisely applies to these peasant groups. This is the imminent start of the investment project activities and development of agricultural markets (Pidma). A financing agreement relating thereto was indeed signed it a few days ago between the Ministry of Economy, Planning and Regional Development (Minepat) and the World Bank. This, in the presence of Essimi Menye, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development (MINADER). The funding in question, amounting to 50 billion F, should be used to boost productivity and support the transformation of corn dies, cassava and sorghum, to direct them to the marketing and industrialisation.agriculture-women-rural Industrialization in fact, we talked a lot about in the agricultural sector in recent years in Cameroon. But for the MINADER, the first pillar of the second generation agriculture, it is man and woman trained in all trades, including agriculture. So you have to create agricultural schools. The second pillar is research because it isolates the high-yield seeds. Moreover, said the minister, it is impossible to use tractors when you have no seeds. And admit that there has been a backwards planning. It would have first had to ensure that there is the seed before anything else, he says. Frankly, Essimi Menye indicates that another pillar of agricultural development in Cameroon, the opening up of production areas. In other words, roads, without which farmers can not get their produce to places of high consumption. Roll on Pidma, one of the major activities is for the construction and rehabilitation of rural roads. What about incoming? Last cocoa season in Cameroon ended with a performance decline, mainly due to the poor quality of inputs used in the plantations. The farmers talked bad fertilizer, but also of questionable quality pesticides. This is also what one of the problems of agriculture in Cameroon. Fortunately, found a partial solution, with the presentation in July 2014, the list of inputs and equipment (sprayers) registered in Cameroon. MINADER also announced on this occasion, the market control of these products there. Despite these handicaps to the development of agriculture, Cameroon was able to achieve before 2015, the target of the Millennium Development Goal No. 1 (eradicate extreme poverty and hunger ). Which earned him a Diploma of Excellence awarded by the Director General of the United Nations Organization for Food and Agriculture (FAO) in June 2013. This means that agriculture actually feeds the population Cameroon. It remains that it boosts the overall development of the country, with industrial processing units Made in Cameroon products. And the Agricultural Bank, the start of which is imminent, will mainly address these issues. Good fruit in sight.
