The opening ceremony of the 9th edition of the Livestock Exhibition saw the participation of two (200) hundred exhibitors with the presence of stakeholders from Nigeria, Chad, Central African Republic and Congo. This was the first time the event was organized on the new site in NDJALBARKE, about 15 kilometers from Ngaoundere. Exotic and local animals including Montbéliard cows were exhibited. Small ruminants, camels and chicken were also on display. Yoghurt and milk were largely exhibited and sold at subsidized prices. Agricultural machinery was paraded for the promotion of mechanized agriculture. Auction sales of cattle of all breeds added color and spark to the event.

Dr. Taiga made a clarion call to all stakeholders in the dairy sector, to improve their performance and take advantage of government’s support to farmers. He cited among others, the opportunities of Import- substitution, which constitutes the re-dynamization and transformation of local dairy products, giving way for the employment of women and youths.
