A study of credit to traditional cattle breeders in Cameroon

Abstract

A credit programme for traditional cattle breeders of Cameroon was set up from 1975 to 1986 in order to favour the modernization of cattle farming. It was evaluated in 1986 that this programme encountered many difficulties and did not reach the expected objectives. It seems important to clarify the legal status of pasture areas and to make the breeder groups aware of their responsibilities in front of such a programme.
