Cameroon – Heifer to Pilot Pig Manure Biogas Project
CAMEROON – Heifer International, an international integrated animal-agriculture development organisation, is to pilot a biogas production project in the country using pig manure.
Speaking to Cameroon Tribune recently in Yaounde, the Country Director, Dr Njakoi Henry, said the experiment will be conducted in the South West and Littoral Regions where there are large concentrations of pig farmers who are located close to the market in Douala.

He however, pointed out that appropriate dimensions of biogas digesters have to be determined in order to ensure the success of the project.
