Cameroon: 178.5 billion project to develop fruit tree cultivation
According to its initiators, the Fruit Tree Cultivation Development Support Programme aims to increase the number of orchards in production zones situated mainly in the Centre (Lekie, Mbam and Inoubou departments), Adamaoua (Vina and Mayo Danay departments) de Extreme-North (the Diamaré department) and North (Bénoué and Mayo Louti department) regions.
The cooperatives, joint initiative groups (GICS in French), and industrial producers, which will all start putting the orchards in place, will then receive multiple forms of support to create processing plants. The project’s promoters indicate that the plan is to make Cameroon a juice exporter by 2025.
