At the level of research, the option was to support operational research to optimize agricultural production and ensure food security.

This orientation makes it possible to respond to the low agricultural growth due to the adoption and precarious exploitation of research results by stakeholders. However, there is real potential in Cameroon in the fields of processing and marketing of agricultural and pastoral products.

The purpose of the C2D Research component is to improve the productivity, sustainability and competitiveness of Cameroonian agriculture. More specifically, it aims to contribute to increasing producers' incomes, increasing agricultural production and food security in the country.
