“That’s the ambitious politic I would like to lead for a durable development of our country.”
We must protect our farmers
Agriculture is the fuel of this car that Cameroon and not the other way - we must not therefore act as if it was normal to see our people falling into poverty, unable to live the fruits of their labors. It is normal that the world should be organized where the need to put at the heart of the agricultural marketing boards control products ensure stability of cash income for our farmers. Let the word peasant ceases to be pejorative, but it falls within the vocabulary of our noble country. It's time to encourage and support the birth of trade unions so that the rights of this category of our society are upheld, protected. We will create a health insurance scheme for agriculture as being a farmer is exercising a profession with all that commitment. I would like to lead Cameroon to modernity by putting the farmer at the heart of an administration whose primary objective is to serve. It's time. Our agricultural engineers will now be on the field, to innovate, offering new technologies, promote new ways of doing things - they have a role to play in the success of our agricultural policy. This is the ambitious policy that I would like to lead the sustainable development of our country.
Cameroon is the Central Africa attic and must remain so. That is why, as it is going on everywhere in the world, we subsidise our agriculture. In doing so we are not subject to the WTO rules but participate in competitive way.
We must have an agriculture which does not leave farmers at the edge of the path killing them to the task. Developing new agricultural techniques and developing the necessary to determine the seasons, weather cycle of rains, we will better meet the needs of the agricultural world.
All Cameroonian is farmer or breeder, that’s why we need two levels of support for our farmers.
The first step of this aid is intended for the agricultural sector of the industry. Question of supporting our industrial agriculture promoters so that our country remains the breadbasket of black Africa and legitimately can defend itself in international markets.
The second tier is intended for 78 % of our population that lives on agriculture on a daily basis. It is not only repeat live stabilisations funds for support the prices of foodstuffs on the market, but also allow to this fringe of our population, the most dedicated but also the most fragile, to have social protection. We won’t abandon the peasant world neither will let it be the last wheel of the carriage.
