The Mahol Ma Yondo agricultural cooperative has launched its activities in the Ngambè district, with the ambition of making this rural territory of Sanaga-Maritime a reference hub for agroecology in Cameroon.
Created on February 10, 2025, the cooperative brings together about thirty young people from Ngambè and surrounding villages. Located in Ngambè, Mahol Ma Yondo intends to structure a local dynamic around agroecology, relying on endogenous knowledge and traditional agricultural practices. The cooperative prioritizes strategic sectors such as cassava, plantain, and gnetum, products with high economic and nutritional potential for local and regional markets.

Beyond production, the initiative also aims to support local processing, with an artisanal cassava processing unit already in the background.
The created cooperative constitutes a direct response to the recommendations formulated at the end of the 2nd edition of the Rural Employability Fair, held on December 11, 12, and 13, 2025, in Ngambè, at the JVEPI-FOMACK Youth Center of Ngambè (CJJF). This edition had mobilized about 1 500 participants, including thirty delegates from the 52 villages in the district, all involved in agricultural initiatives.

Through the Mahol Ma Yondo cooperative, the FER is progressively establishing itself as a multi-stakeholder platform serving the transformation of our rural territories, with Ngambè as the starting point. The stated ambition is to structure, in the medium term, a holistic approach combining agroecology, fish farming, and livestock breeding.
“Mahol Ma Yondo was born from the collective will of the young people of Ngambè to build sustainable income-generating activities, capable of creating local employment, encouraging urban exodus and structuring promising agricultural sectors. It is a rural project designed by and for rural communities,” emphasizes Jacques Jonathan Nyemb, business lawyer, elite of Sanaga Maritime and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the newly created cooperative.
