Plans have been unveiled by Cameroonian firm Sotreas -Société de Transformation des Produits d’élevage et d’agriculture du Sahel to open a tomato processing factory in the Far North Region capital Maroua.
This is contained in a Press Release published on February 7, 2022, by the Minister Delegate to the Minister of Environment Nana Aboubakar Djalloh.
According to the release, a public audience will be held in the framework of the detailed environmental and social impact study of this project would be held from February 7 to 12.
These audiences will aim to collect residents’ opinions on the possible implications of the factory to them.
Should the project meet social and environmental standards, then work will commence.
