NGOULENTANG PERIODIC MARKET: THE CNSC SUPPORTS RURAL WOMEN
The Cameroon National Shippers' Council organised its first periodic market on 26 July 2024 at the esplanade of the CNSC Ngoulentang Trucker Accommodation Centre, located on National Road No. 10. The ceremony was presided over by CNSC's General Manager, Mr. Auguste Mbappe Penda, accompanied by several authorities and elites from the Nyong et Mfoumou Division.
More than 2,500 women from 7 networks of women's associations are benefiting from this initiative, which for them is an opportunity to quickly sell the produce from their farms to shippers and other users plying the Douala-Kribi-Bangui road corridor. Amongst the foodstuffs on sale were plantains, cassava, bananas, pineapples, palm nuts and local fish species.
The president of the Réseau des Associations Féminines de l'Arrondissement d'Ayos, Mrs. Simone Miyono, expressed her gratitude to the CNSC, which is helping to solve the outlet problem faced by these women through the organization of this periodic market.
The Cameroon Bayam Sellam Association, also invited to the event, expressed its full support for the CNSC through its president, Mrs. Marie Mballa Biloa. The CNSC plans to organise periodic markets on a monthly basis, precisely on the last Friday of every month.
