DIR's four activities
Activity 01
4,500 hectares cultivated under center-pivot irrigation. Maize yield target 8–10 t/ha. Soy yield target 5–6 t/ha. Three-year rotation. Mixed mineral and organic fertilization (Mbakaou effluents via return loop). Target output: 50,000 tonnes of grain per year at steady state.
Activity 02
Capacity 160 tpd, 150,000 tpa. Three production lines: aquaculture, poultry, livestock. Metal silo storage 60,000 t (8 Bühler silos of 7,500 t). Bulk aquafeed shipment: 135,000 tpa to Mbakaou and Nyong via 30-tonne tanker trucks.
Activity 03
Employee housing, collective catering, social and sports facilities. Accommodation capacity sized for permanent DIR Hub teams. Logistical coordination with the Mbakaou and Nyong aquaculture sites.
Activity 04
Logistics center for distributing processed products to Cameroon and the broader CEMAC sub-region (Gabon, Chad, Central African Republic, Congo, Equatorial Guinea). Export flow coordination and cold chain.
Strict architectural rule
DIR hosts NO hatchery, NO floating cages, NO aquaculture processing unit.
These functions are operated exclusively at the Mbakaou and Nyong aquaculture sites, which each have their own site-level hatchery and their own processing unit. This strict separation guarantees the coherence of the integrated value chain and the operational resilience of the project.
