A delegation
from a province in China is to boost farming in the Bamenda I Council locality
through mechanized agriculture. The undertaking follows the signing in Bamenda
I recently of a partnership accord between the Council and representatives of
the Province led by Wang Ji who is Deputy General Manager of Shaanxi Overseas
Investment and Development Company Ltd.
While in Bamenda
I, the Chinese delegation visited maize farms run by various groups and held
working sessions with farming group executives. The Post newspaper quoted the First Deputy Mayor of the Council,
Denis Ngwa Sangbong as saying: “the cooperation will be of great help because
two agricultural specialists from the delegation will remain in the North West
to train agricultural engineers, work with local farmers on pests, fungicide
control and modern agricultural technology for high yieds”.
The
newspaper indicated that the links between the Chinese province and Bamenda I
Council were initiated by the Prime Minister`s Office in Yaounde. Even so,
Bamenda I Council is only the first step because Shaanxi Province intends to
sign a similar agreement with the Councils of Nkambe, Ndop, Oku and Misaje as
well.
