When you talk of Agriculture in Cameroon, there is one name that will sounds louder than any other – Greenhouse Ventures by Roland Fomundam. The company was founded in the later months of 2014 with a mission to use the affordable greenhouse technology to improve quality and quantity of production while saving on the environment.
With a unique touch on strategy and market penetration, Roland and his team have built a multi-million concept out of an old and simple technology – the greenhouse technology. In very simple terms, they have successfully introduced a Farm Franchise model into agriculture and engaging multiple growers under their brand. This model has gained a lot of popularity especially among the youths and retirees who need an extra income and an easier way to make money through farming.
From introducing a customized and affordable version of greenhouse farms, they have also been able to grow a wide variety of food crops that have proven to be better in quality that crops grow using conventional methods. Greenhouse grown crops tend to have a longer shelf life, taste better with deeper coloration than their outdoor grown counterparts. Greenhouses employ natural methods of cultivation making crops to be healthier than outdoor grown crops.
The company’s latest development is the launching of the “Operation 100 greenhouse campaign” which will seek to deploy over 100 greenhouse farms by mid year through out the nation. Adding to this, the company seeks to engage citizens to also earn income through referrals that lead to sales. This is certainly a game changer and a never before done in the nation under this industry sector.
