Cocoa-coffee sector.
The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Gabriel Mbairobe presented a statement on the Cocoa-Coffee sector. He said cocoa cultivation involves about 800, 000 people in seven regions of the country. Government, he said, had set the objective to produce 600,000 tons of cocoa per year by 2020 but at the moment production only stands at 320,000 tons. To improve on the situation, he said, government has embarked on the supply of sufficient improved plants to farmers as 20 to 30 million plants are needed per year. He also talked on efforts to apply good phytosanitary treatment, training of farmers on good practices and new plants to renew the plantations. Minister Mbairobe said the situation of the coffee subsector was different because the international price of coffee is very low and coffee requires a lot of fertilizer, phytosanitary treatment and maintenance. “The only way beneficial for us is local processing of coffee”.
