Revamping the Ekombe Bonji Cocoa sector Project Begins..

After going through a gestation period of a year, the people of Ekombe Bonji through OGCEYOD finally received funding from the German Embassy, Cameroon and Agric International, Cameroon. This funding will be used to educate farmers on new cocoa farming techniques, maximizing production on their farmland, inter cropping, management of their material and financial resources, setting up a nursery, construct an oven as well as donated some materials and equipment to help them get the best out of their farms and enjoy a better livelihood free from poverty after sales of their produce.

Several meeting have already been held with council of the area and farmers who will benefit from the project. The building housing the oven and the oven are presently under construction and the management of OGCEYOD envisages first round of donation of materials and equipment in August 2012 when the construction of the oven is completed. That same day, farmers will also be trained on the topics highlighted above.
