The town of Ngaoundéré, regional capital of Adamawa, the most important cattle production area in Cameroon, will be the scene of the commissioning, in August, of a modern slaughterhouse and cold-storage warehouse with a capacity of 1,400 m3.
This is the main information to come out from the visit carried out on 13 June 2017 on the construction site of this infrastructure, by the Cameroonian Minister of Livestock, Fisheries and Animal Industries, Dr. Taïga.
These structures, already 98% completed, we learned, will be the second in the country, after the modern slaughterhouse in Yaoundé, the capital, which also has an adjoined cold-storage warehouse with a capacity of 6,000 m3.
Structures of the same type, all built as part of the three-year Emergency Plan of the government, implemented since 2015, are announced in the cities of Kribi and Ebolowa, in the Southern region.
This equipment will cost FCfa 10 billion, in total, and is meant to modernise the cattle sector in the country, which just benefitted from a FCfa 60 billion loan from the World Bank, to finance its Livestock Development Project (Prodel).
