The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) says agriculture is vital to Cameroon’s economy, employing nearly half of the workforce. The country has approximately two million small family farms and more extensive agro-industrial plantations. Farmers face challenges like poor market organization, inadequate infrastructure, limited irrigation and credit access, and lack of equipment. To address these issues, Farmers Pride International has launched an initiative to empower Cameroonian farmers. Kevin Wilson, the CEO of Farmers Pride International and a teacher at Penn Grove High in New Jersey, discussed this initiative with VOA’s Paul Ndiho.
