The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development asserts that excessive fertilizer use is directly responsible for the low soil productivity, which is the primary factor in the decline in agricultural product production.
The high cost, particularly in relation to extensive plantings of coffee, cocoa, or cotton, is the primary factor if it is assumed that the small or ignorant peasants contribute to this lack of enthusiasm for modern fertilizer use.
Even though the government reduced import taxes and regarded this product as the zero-rate policy, nothing worked.
The item continues to be prohibitive: The price per bag has nearly doubled. To encourage the establishment of fertilizer factories in Cameroon, the government is currently attempting to attract private investors.
Some investors have already appeared, if there is still no real rush in this sector.As a result, a chemical fertilizer plant has recently opened in Douala, the nation’s economic center.
The Cameroon Fertilizer Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
A contract for the construction of a waste-to-fertilizer plant is being prepared by Cameroon’s authorities in Garoua, the capital of the northern region. In order to guarantee better management, the municipality of this city intends to implement a “modern” system.
A recycling plant will be constructed in Garoua to accomplish this.The waste will be delivered by the local council to the company that won the contract, where it will be turned into fertilizer.Farmers will then have access to this fertilizer.
It is anticipated that the utilization of this natural compost will facilitate sustainable development and increase the quantity and quality of agricultural yields in a healthier environment.
Local authorities indicate that the funds generated from these activities will in the long run enable the creation of jobs for young people in order to stimulate growth in this city.
When families are unable to access the city’s facilities, door-to-door collection by dump trucks is the most common method of collection in Garoua .The municipal support for the project means that this organic waste will now be composted.
