(Business in Cameroon) - In 2017, the Southwest Development Authority (Soweda), distributed 105,000 tons of enhanced seeds of corn, beans and yam to producers of the Southwest region.

According to credible sources, 70,000 tons of corn seeds, 20,000 tons of bean seeds and 15,000 tons of yam seeds were distributed.  

Let’s note that these seeds are the results of a programme launched by SOWEDA in 2014 to increase enhanced seeds. Thanks to this program, 24 seed farms were set in the Southwest and according to SOWEDA, 63 producer groups (with a total of 70,000 members) have already used the seeds.
