What our
work changes
We count success in lives improved and systems that last, as much as in sales or hectares.
The figures
we stand behind
Only figures our own documents agree on are shown here. Numbers for farmers, trainees and jobs will be added once they are confirmed.
Where we
work
Our cooperative network covers five regions of Cameroon. The head office and the Bonduma Gate processing facility are in the Southwest.

to the field
Training, inputs, infrastructure or research: we design programmes with funders and institutions, and we deliver them in the field.

of work
Youth and women
Mumita was founded and is led by young people, and young people and women come first in how we hire and who we train. That means courses in agro-processing and climate-smart farming, the ChefPreneur incubator for young caterers and dieticians at Praïs, placements for university students, and supply contracts for women-led cooperatives.
Climate action
Irrigation, greenhouses and post-harvest preservation all serve one aim: farms that hold up in erratic weather. We promote organic fertiliser and plant-based pest control, and we have piloted circular models such as turning cassava waste into animal feed.
Nutrition and safe food
Through Praïs and our food brands we work on what people eat. Nutritionists give diet counselling to vulnerable groups, community drama shows rural shoppers how to recognise safe, chemical-free food, and our research develops enriched flours and custards for children.
Trade and jobs
We link farmers to markets, build warehouse systems and supply supermarkets and institutional buyers. Each of these makes the food economy stronger, starting at the farm. Our food has reached more than ten countries, and we take part in national and international grant projects.

In the community
Some of our work is not business at all. These programmes are about fair access to food, passing on what we know, and community health.
TrainingYouth and women
Free and subsidised training for young people and women in value addition and other food production skills.
LivelihoodsOlder farmers
Older farmers who need support to keep producing get training, starter livestock or planting material, and help selling their harvest.
MentorshipYoung graduates
Graduates in agriculture, food science and related fields learn on the job alongside our team.
Food safetyCommunity education
Trainings and stage drama that teach shoppers the signs of safe, chemical-free food in local markets, and campaigns on avoiding agri-chemical poisoning through food.
