(Business in Cameroon) - The new facility will be called the Farmer Development Centre. It was just inaugurated by the Cameroonian Minister of Trade, Luc Magloire Mbarga Atangana, in Emana, situated in the Lékié department, the largest cocoa farming area in Cameroon.

In addition to training farmers in this part of the country with the best cultural techniques in order to boost cocoa production, the Emana Farmer Development Centre will provide training over a ten month period on cocoa farming.

The implementation of this structure is the fruit of a partnership between the Cameroonian government and Agroproduce Management Services (AMS), an organisation which works towards cocoa certification alongside the Dutch cocoa trader, Theobroma.
