Brazil’s Institut Federal de l’Education des Technologies and the Binquela Practical Farming School on Tuesday, September 13, 2011, signed a partnership agreement to exchange Poultry technology and Poultry training of young farmers both in Cameroon and Brazil.
The Director of the School, Michel Abega and the Rector of the Brazilian institute, Professor Sebastien Edson Moura, signed the partnership agreement on behalf of their respective institutions.
The Binquela Practical Farming School plans to produce chicken in an industrial scale within the framework of a project called, “Cluster Technopole Agro-alimentaire” by 2035, Michel Abega disclosed.
“We will hence be processing our production. Every two weeks, we produce 10,000 chicks for the local market and hope to increase significantly with the training and support from our partners”, he added.
Israeli experts are currently training agro-pastoral engineers from different ministries in the Binquela Practical Farming School on modern techniques of poultry production.
“With the training, farmers can earn more money and the country will earn new business”, an Israeli expert, Ilan Arye said and added that, “We are teaching farmers how to grow chicken in a modern way”.
The Binquela school was created in 1962. It went into hibernation and only resurfaced in 2006 when its structures were rehabilitated. Effective classes only resume in 2010.
The school plans to come up with a special training programme for civil servants going on retirement in order to empower them for sustainable agriculture, the Director Michel Abega disclosed.
