(Business in Cameroon) - In order to face the famine looming in the distance in Extreme-North, Cameroon, where murderous incursions being carried out by the murderous Islamist, terrorist Nigerian sect, Boko Haram, made frightened local people abandon the fields, Société d’expansion et de modernisation de la riziculture de Yagoua (Semry) has decided to diversify its production in 2015.

According to the decision taken by the rice company during its January 30, 2015 board meeting, in addition to rice, Semry will be cultivating millet and sorghum. The company also increased its budget to 12.5 billion FCFA. “This amount will certainly enable Semry to restructure things not only in terms of increasing production, but also by diversifying it to fill the gap in food supply,” stated Board Chairman, Midjiyawa Bakari.
