Stephen Bonser, the principal of the agricultural school of Jules Rieffel de Nantes in France was in Ebolowa Monday, April 06, 2015 with a strong delegation through a bilateral relationship with the regional College of agriculture (CRA) of Ebolowa in Mvila, Southern Region.

Officials of the agricultural school of Nantes and the regional college of agriculture in Ebolowa signed Monday, April 06, 2015 the bilateral agreement between their two institutions. It was in the presence of the Governor of the southern region, Jules Marcelin Njaga representing the Government. The patron of the South region welcomed the initiative which could remove the producers of cocoa in Ebolowa from poverty.

Cooperation between these two institutions of vocational training must result in the short term, the implementation of an educational sector of transformation of cocoa with the participation of local cooperatives and big independent producers. It requires producers, according to Stephen Bonser, the principal of the agricultural school of Nantes in France, to fully take advantage of their work.

"It is indeed of a better distribution of wealth, fair trade," said Stephen Bonser. To get there, the latter announced that exchanges of experience between teachers and students from the two institutions will be effective shortly.

Chocolate manufactured in Ebolowa from locally produced beans is an ambition that could very soon materialize under the North-South partnership for the benefit of the people who will no longer have to sell their crops to wholesalers and other middlemen working for the account of multinationals.

These in fact too often dictate their law on the local market, despite the awareness-raising of the Interprofessional Council of Cocoa and Coffee (CNCC).
