Cameroon – Martin Nzegang’s Open Letter to the Minister of Livestock, Fisheries and Animal Industries

Journalist and former editor-in-chief of La Voix du paysan Martin Nzegang has addressed an open letter to Cameroon’s minister of livestock, fisheries and animal industries following reports that locally produced chicken and eggs were contaminated. He recalls the 2004–2006 campaign against frozen chicken imports, which the minister had criticized for harming poultry farming, the national economy and public health. Nzegang also raises concerns about the fish sector and urges the minister to steer its leading importer toward production amid strong demand.
