(Business in Cameroon) - Chadian firm Geyser SA, which has a FCFA 400 million capital, just opened a branch in Garoua, located in Cameroon’s Northern region. At his head is Lucien Wenguelale Tchouameni.

The company, in grouping with Sotcocog (also Chadian) recently won a contract worth 33.3 billion FCFA, for the rehabilitation of irrigated zones and that of the Maga & Logone and Mayo Vrick dikes, in Cameroon’s Extreme North.

The contract was awarded as part of the PULCI, which in French corresponds to Urgent Project to Fight Flooding, in Cameroon’s North. Works included in the project should protect 10,000 acres of rice fields from flooding. These fields presently host around 78,000 rice farmers trained by Society for expansion and modernization of rice-farming in Yagoua (Semry in French).
