2016 : support on a pig breeding project - Cameroun
Support in Yaoundé suburb for a Cameroonian GIC - “Common Initiative Group” - and emergence of a pig industry
Since the beginning of 2014 AVe support the developpement of a pig farming, real challenge as not only the breeding scale has to be increased, (from 30 to 100 breeder/fattener sows) but also breeding management must be improved. All this is taking place in the very specific sub-Saharan Afica context.
For this long-term project, AVe has provided several senior volunteer experts to the GIC :
- a senior agro-economist for the project global approach
- specialists of breeding buildingsfor pig production and of breeding management, who intervene upon request.
At the beginning of 2017, we are halfway towards the target. We are optimistic about this project’s success, as a cooperative of about fifteen pig producers from Center Cameroon has just been set up.
