The Cameroon Development Corporation is one of the leading Cameroonian food standards agency jobs companies. It is the largest employer and one of the main exporters. This company is owned in part by the State of Cameroon. CDC produces bananas, palm oil, natural rubber and some more marginal cultures. food standards agency jobs All these plantations are located in the south-west Cameroon, around Mount Cameroon. The banana food standards agency jobs industry is entrusted to Del Monte by a management contract. Since 1998, the Government of Cameroon has begun a process of privatization of the company. The plantations cover a little less than 3,000 hectares, food standards agency jobs producing around 100 000 tonnes (see Fig. 7 and 8). Del Monte Fresh Products Company is present on the banana food standards agency jobs market since 1968. It is a multinational company which is now in the ranks of the world's leading producers of bananas. She participated in the vertical integration of the industry. Indeed, control of the production food standards agency jobs to sale allows better performance and avoid litigation. However, it makes them more dependent on domestic producers. Del Monte involved in the production food standards agency jobs and manages input supply. She was able to settle food standards agency jobs in Cameroon, in the late 80s, in anticipation of the COMB, and to be able to be present in traditional ACP countries. In fact, the CDC sells the majority of its production FOB (Free On Board incoterms) Douala. This banana is then marketed under the label "Del Monte Cameroon." For the rest, the CDC markets its products under the name "CDC Banana". The fall in production in 2007 is due to a very unfavorable climate conditions (gale). Yet since 2002, yields are declining (see Fig 6). This is due to a culture system unsuited to the soil and climate context and insufficient renewal of banana (low investment certainly linked to the company's privatization food standards agency jobs issue). This is likely to be first on the account of the uncertainties related to the renewal of the contract between CDC and DEL MONTE. Production costs remain competitive especially because of low expenses related to irrigation by gravity so carried on 700 ha and with the use of electric motors. The medium-term food standards agency jobs development program focuses on renewal of existing plantations. Drainage actions are also planned. In addition, a program to plant 1,700 hectares is envisaged. It should food standards agency jobs be noted that the Del Monte management contract runs until the end of 2009 and its annual turnover is now rather than five year.
