Cameroon:Government provides financial support to companies in the agricultural sector

The Cameroonian Ministry of Scientific Research has just signed a 200 million FCFA grant agreement with four companies to contribute to the development of their projects.

The companies, each of which will receive 50 million FCFA, have ginger production and processing projects as well as others concerning cocoa, banana and rice-based animal food manufacturing.

According to Madeleine Tchuinté, Minister of Scientific Research, these C2D-derived grants are a “new form of making public research results available to private Cameroonian companies.”
