(Business in Cameroon) - The producers of the Littoral and Sud-Ouest regions in Cameroon have just received a cargo of over 720,000 cassava cuttings. These improved seedlings made available to producers as part of the Agricultural Markets Investments and Development Project (PIDMA) will help create seedling fields.

With a FCfa 50 million funding from the World Bank, PIDMA hopes to boost the production of cassava, maize and sorghum in Cameroon, in order to supply the food industry.

Unfortunately, PIDMA is taking a while to get started on the ground, because of the approximate structuring of the producers' organisations, according to the assessment from a World Bank team visiting Cameroon.
