(Business in Cameroon) - Official sources reveal that the World Food Program has provided CFA150 million to help Cameroon fight the fall armyworm.

Let’s remind that early this year, Cameroon had certified two pesticides which would help combat that worm which is ravaging the cereal production in Cameroon and in many African countries.

According to experts of the ministry of agriculture, the armyworm which mainly affects cereals has already destroyed plantations in 7 of the ten regions in Cameroon, namely, North, the Far-North, Adamaoua, the Centre, the West, Southwest and the Coast.
