Ngukong Paul Fonanjei, a potato grower from Santa, Cameroon, shares first-hand footage of imported seed potatoes being unloaded. “We’re ready to partner with suppliers of high-yield hybrids,” Paul explains. “Consistent deliveries of quality seed could lift Cameroonian yields and profitability.”
Potatoes News applauds Paul’s call: exchanging varieties and know-how broadens markets, strengthens food security and reduces risk. If you have advanced genetics to offer and want to reach Cameroonian farmers, write to us—we’ll connect you.
