Youths have
been encouraged to take up agriculture as a means to get employment as
agriculture is regarded as the back born of the nation. This was during a
one-day open door day organized by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural
Development, MINADER, last December 13.
To the regional delegate of
MINADER, Ekungwe Christopher, the aim of this open door day is to educate the
wider public on the services MINADER has to offer. “Today all our services and
projects are outside for those involve in agriculture and by the end people
will better understand all our services.
Taniform Emilia of Agriculture
health service said they work with business operators. “We direct people on how
to produce a good business plan and when you do that, we will now come up with
a project for you. We also look for sponsors for your various products. We do
not follow up farmers on production we also follow up on their health. If you
are not healthy you cannot produce well”.
Gabriel Enongene in charge of
the giving of projects and investors and also experts in charge of oil palm
production said youths do not go in for agriculture probable because of lack of
information. “Agriculture can change the face of the Cameroonian economy. We are encouraging these youths to take
agriculture as a business so that they can also employ others”.
“We are encouraging them to go
in to oil palms, plantains and pineapple for now. We want to accompany our
farmers at each level, in the nursery, production, transformation and delivery
so that they are able to ripe the benefits of what they are doing”.
