(Business in Cameroon) - Leader on the Cameroonian sugar market through its local subsidiary Sosucam (Société Sucrière du Cameroon), the French group Somdiaa is planning to diversify its activities in the country. In this view, it is considering from 2017 moving into the production of chicks for local animal farmers from 2017, the Pan African magazine Jeune Afrique reveals.

In Cameroon, we learned, this agro-industrial group is planning in reality to duplicate its Gabonese experience, a country in which its subsidiary, Société Meunière et Avicole du Gabon, who was producing until recently eggs and flour, moved into the production of one-day chicks in 2009. Nowadays, it produces 350,000 chicks per year.

In the meantime, Somdiaa group continues with its investment plan of FCfa 110 billion launched during the 2013-2014 sugar season in Cameroon, with the aim of reaching a production of 170,000 tons in 2017. According to Sosucam’s forecasts, 124,000 tons of sugar will be produced during the 2015-2016 season in the Mbandjock and Nkoteng plants, located in the Central region of Cameroon.
