Cameroon: Towards the end of deficit in coffee plants

(Business in Cameroon) - Starting from 2018, Cameroon could produce up to 17 million coffee plants annually. This was revealed on December 21, 2017, during a review meeting of the 2016-2017 coffee campaign, held at Abong-Mbang, the production basin in the Eastern region.

This forecast, which should help end the insufficiency of coffee plants in the country, is based on a partnership concluded recently between the national cocoa and coffee board (Conseil interprofessionnel du Cacao et du café- CICC) and the programme to support agricultural competitiveness.

Indeed, the programme which has developed log yards (site for the production of cuttings) for producers’ cooperatives, has transferred those to the board which will manage and exploit them for efficient production.

Moreover, during the last Cameroonian coffee festival (Festicoffee), CICC has signed a convention with Côte d’Ivoire’s center for agricultural research CNRA for a transfer of technology for the production of coffee plants from coffee beans.
