(Business in Cameroon) - Unemployed since October 18, 2020, the 350 staff of the factory of the Cotonnière Industrielle du Cameroun (Cicam)’s Garoua-based plant resumed work on February 2, 2021. According to credible sources, the plant restarted operations thanks to instructions from the President of the republic for the resumption of Sodecoton’s raw material supplies.
Specifically, the sources indicate, Sodecoton will deliver 75 tons of cotton to Cicam’s plant in Garoua. With that supply, the plant will run production for at least two months, they add.
Indeed, Sodecoton stopped supplying Cicam because of the debt accumulated by the latter. Estimated at XAF600 million in early 2020, the outstanding supplier debt owed by CICAM to Sodecotton rose to XAF1.3 billion in October 2020 (ed. note: a partial payment of XAF200 million was made in the meantime).

Indeed, in July 2020, thanks to the partnership between the CFC and Feicom (the administration in charge of local development) and the assistance of the United Councils and Cities of Cameroon (UCCC), a XAF10 billion credit line was opened to help 24 municipalities build 594 housing units in their communities.
