According to Samuel Donatien NENGUE, the Administrator of CCODEF, “the Producers’ Desk is an experimental mechanism whose cocoa and coffee sub-sectors constitute the test sample because of their attractiveness ». It could therefore « extend to all the agricultural sectors of Cameroon and thus give substance to the second generation agriculture called with all his wishes by the President of the Republic, at the time of the Ebolowa Agro-pastoral Show. »
