Cameroon Targets Higher Food Production with ‘Rice Month’ in March.

The Cameroon Ministry of Trade is striving to promote domestic food production in 2014.  Starting in March, they will focus on a different local sector each month.  They are starting off the project with "Rice Month" this March. 
 Cameroon's government is making efforts to increase consumption of domestic rice.  Currently, the country produces about 100,000 tons of rice each year, and imports about half a million tons annually, according to the USDA, with some of that paddy and rice finding its way into Nigeria.
