Cameroon has one of the most important potential for livestock farming in Central Africa, thanks in particular to the quality of the climate of its main production areas, namely the Adamawa and North regions. It is no coincidence that the largest livestock market in Central Africa is in Adoumry, Bibemi commune in the North. The need for meat and fish products will increase with the population growth of the country and those of neighbouring countries.
We will increase the national herd and develop fish farming which remains at an embryonic stage.
For this purpose, the following measures will be taken
In the field of breeding :
- Establishment of cross-breeding units for cattle, goats and sheep to produce improved breeds;
- Incentive for the creation of feed production enterprises from rice straw, cereals such as soybeans and tubers such as cassava;
- Encouragement of the forage crop;
- Incentive to create day-old chick production enterprises for all types of poultry (turkey, chicken, guinea fowl);
- Incitement to the creation of new industrial slaughterhouses;
- Development of a leather and skin sector and industrial manufactures of footwear and other industrial products made from skins;
- Development of LANAVET to make it an animal vaccine production plant for local needs and export.
In the field of fish farming:
- Development of oceanic and continental industrial fish farming, with the objective of reducing by 50% the import of certain varieties of fish for consumption;
- Training in fish farming in agricultural schools and trade centres
