Woleu — Ntem, Gabon — Agricultural Training Seminar Launched. Woleu-Ntem, Gabon — A comprehensive training seminar for agricultural trainers is currently underway in the province of Woleu-Ntem, Gabon.
The event is focused on enhancing the skills of trainers in crop production techniques, particularly for soy and yellow corn.
The seminar is a direct response to the Gabonese government’s decision to ban the import of chicken meat from 2027. This move is aimed at promoting local agriculture and reducing reliance on imported goods.
According to regional officials, the training is part of a broader strategy to strengthen the country’s agricultural sector.
The government’s decision to ban chicken meat imports is expected to stimulate domestic production of soy and yellow corn, which are key components in chicken feed.
The training seminar is designed to equip trainers with the latest techniques in crop production to ensure higher yields and better quality of these crops. Regional officials confirmed that the training is being conducted by experts from the Ministry of Agriculture and the National Institute of Agricultural Research.
They emphasized the importance of these techniques in improving the productivity of local farmers.
The seminar is expected to continue for several days, with participants from various regions of Gabon. It is anticipated that the knowledge and skills acquired during the training will be disseminated to farmers across the country, thereby contributing to the overall development of the agricultural sector.
Further details regarding the outcomes of the seminar and the impact on local agriculture are expected to be released in the coming days.
