Comment on contract farming
Hevecam is required to provide financing to rubber farmers in the NGOK village, one of the villages in Hevecam’s plantation. This was part of the privatisation arrangement with the State of Cameroon, where the rubber farmers will be given access to the allocated land area to carry out rubber-tapping activities. The loan to rubber farmers is unsecured, interest-free and repayable by 2018.
