Project Description

The Peanut production and processing project into vegetable oil is part of a context where the demand for quality vegetable oils is constantly increasing in the Far North Region, more precisely in the city of Maroua, Cameroon. Peanut, being a crop widely cultivated in many cities and villages in the Far North, represents an accessible and profitable raw material for the production of oil. This project aims to enhance this resource by setting up an integrated production chain ranging from the production of Peanut to the processing into vegetable oil. The objective of this project is to increase local production of quality vegetable oil from Peanut, in order to meet market demand and contribute to local economic development. Thus, this project will also:
*Increase the areas cultivated with peanuts.
*Set up a unit for processing peanuts into vegetable oil.
*Improve the income of peanut producers through integration into the value chain.
*Finally, to promote local employment through the creation of positions in production and processing.
As Project Activities
-Peanut cultivation: Identification and selection of peanut varieties adapted to the local climate and soil in the communities of Maroua, training of farmers on best agricultural practices and monitoring of the crop until harvest.
– Collection and Storage: Organization of the collection of peanuts after harvest, the establishment of storage facilities to ensure the good quality of the seeds before their processing.
– Transformation into vegetable oil: Installation of a processing unit with modern equipment for the extraction of peanut oil. The process includes cleaning, shelling, pressing and refining of the oil.
– Packaging and Marketing: Packaging of the oil in suitable containers and marketing on local, regional and potentially export markets.

Project for the production, processing and marketing of peanut oil.
