(Business in Cameroon) - The Agricultural Markets Investment and Development Project (PIDMA), financed by the World Bank with FCfa 50 billion, to promote the cultivation of maize, sorghum and cassava to supply food industry units; just launched an awareness campaign for producers on the negative impact of mould on their activities.

Indeed, we learned from PIDMA experts, mould can result in up to 20% loss in production, thus depriving producers of important revenues. On top of these production losses, we learned, the fight against mould, with inappropriate products, can be harmful to the health of consumers.

This is about avoiding these different possible cases, especially as the crops of producers managed by PIDMA are meant to be used in priority as raw material in the food industry.
