RUYOLSUDEV with her expertise in rural development, have beautifully organized

farmers in the production of plantain in Bangem sub division and the result is quite im-

pressive. Producing 35% of national production is absolutely important in food security

and nutrition. International Agriculture Promote that just ended in Bangem was quite

exciting. It is proved, a good testimony that Bangem is the King of plantain in the Re-

public of Cameroon and RUYOLSUDEV the main plantain producer with the technical

expertise. The event motivated farmers and they are so enthusiastic to produce more and

continue to promote made in Cameroon through plantain flour and chips with other de-

rivative.

Amidst COVID 19, Ukraine war and the Anglophone crisis in Cameroon, RUY-

OLSUDEV quietly organized youths to produce food crops as to feed the world. Haven

understood the difficulty most people especial youths found themselves at at that critical

time, at the heart of the Anglophone crisis there was need for such an initiative…. This

explain the reason Bangem is most peaceful in the South West Region of Cameroon to-

day. We moved up the production of plantain from 2% to 35% at National Level, Coffee

and maize production equally increased exponentially. With this initiative we drastically

reduced hunger and poverty in these communities within Bangem sub Division and life

could go on smoothly. RUYOLSUDEV understand, community development is a pro-

cess that involve every stakeholder with mutual benefit.

The above success work called for celebration code named

“INTERNATIONAL AGRICULTURE PROMOT”. This

happened on November 28 – 29th 2024. Thousands of well-

wishers showed up to write their names on stones witness a

leap forward on agricultural revolution within the Kupe

Muamenguba Division. Farmers in the division showcased

their ability to produce agricultural products. The event also

had aspects like BEST FARM AWARD and MISS KUPE

MUANENGUBA to grease the celebration. This brought

thousands of well-wishers and potential investors together to

expand agriculture in remote rural communities.

To produce 35% of national production in Cameroon plantain wasn’t an easy task. We

understand what it means to bring people together for a common purpose. This was a

way to bring farmers together….,Bangem today is well recognized for the production of

plantains and other crops like coffee and maize. We are hopeful the years ahead will be

best. A good number of farmers benefited farm inputs during this event. The aim here is

to motivate them as we look forward to double production by 2030.

• The slow implementation process of the government to accompany the private sec-

tor in real success deal in rural communities is a huge challenge and exacerbate

poverty.

• Some Politician get frighten with the beautiful work we do in most rural areas

• Bangem for example. We understand they are not use to life improvement project

as well as development as corruption is top on their agenda.

•Raising funds for development projects is difficult.

• Lack of will by some government administrators

Construction of the factory to transform plantains, coffee, maize etc.[ Rural Indus-

trialization]

•Have regular farmer training for climate adaptation, planting material production,

farm management etc.

• Reduction of post-harvest problems, improving on farm to market roads. Production

of planting materials and adequate provision of farm inputs.

• Local authorities need to have a good knowledge of decentralization policy

Its not an over statement to say RUYOLSUDEV is a innovative grassroots organization.

This event just passed was aimed to encourage young people who have adopted RUY-

OLSUDEV Development Model in agricultural system and to move forward the policy

of rural industrialization, promote made in Cameroon from rural areas to increase the

GDP of Cameroon economy. In addition to creating decent agricultural jobs at most re-

mote and difficult areas, we look at reducing post-harvest problem. It was to share on

our experience to produce food as a means to solve hunger and poverty. We equally had

as objectives to encourage youths into agriculture to solve rural urban migration which is

rampant and creating havoc today. It should be noted that we were to attract investors in

this profitable agribusiness as well.

This event was organized under the patronage of the Minister of Agriculture and Rural

Development. The local organizing committee headed by HRM Chief Nnoko Nnane

Emmanuel, the Paramount chief of Bangem who doubles as the President of Kupe

Muaneneguba Chiefs Conference had support of all the chiefs within the division. The

South West Development Authority [SOWEDA] provided material and financial support

to this very great event. Though the Bangem Council Mayor, Ekongwe Christopher

Kang, took a negative approach for political reasons, the Bangem central administration

was in full support and gave their maximum support to the event.

Kupe Muanenguba Administration equally played a very important role to the success of

the event. We encourage stakeholders to collaborate as to expand the development of

rural communities in Kupe Muanenguba

The value chain process that effectively complete our policy of rural in-

dustrialization, led to the transformation of the above mentioned raw ma-

terials to finished and semi-finished goods. Through this process we in-

tend to create decent jobs from the production of raw materials to market-

ing of finished products. With this we look forward to increase shelf value

of what we produce and distribute to other parts of the world. These or-

ganic products equally improve on the health situation of many around

the world today. Chips usually called ‘BANGEM GOLD’ and PLAN-

TAIN FLOUR have gain a considerable share of the market. MINADER

support to this beautiful idea led to the approval of the Bangem Transfor-

mation unit, funder by African Development Bank [AfDB]

We give huge appreciation to Crossroads Foundation, for her assistance

to farmers making it possible for them to contribute enormously to na-

tion building. It is our priority to build well functioning rural communi-

ties. We continue to seek partnerships with other non governmental or-

ganisations, embassies, Ministerial departments etc.
