Showcased by a delegation of researchers from the Institute of Agricultural Research for Development (IRAD), led by the Director General (DG), Dr Noé WOIN, IRAD's 100% arabica, organic, flavoured and robust coffee was in the spotlight during the 60th edition of the Paris International Agricultural Show (SIAP) at the Parc des Expositions, Porte de Versailles, from 24 February to 03 March 2024, under the theme: "Soil and land: life in our hands". Distilling an aroma (pleasant and irresistible) that perfumes from afar to the point of stimulating the taste buds of visitors and exhibitors at the SIA, IRAD coffee was awarded the prize on 26 February by the organisers of this popular international fair.
IRAD's coffee was awarded the prestigious " Coup de Coeur des Agriculteurs du Monde" prize. This international triumph was greeted by a shower of ovations and youyous from participants and numerous visitors who stormed the Institute's stand in Nkolbisson from the opening to the closing of the show. Many visitors, once they got to the IRAD stand, couldn't resist the exceptional aroma of this coffee, which is now the envy of producers the world over.
In addition to the coffee, the institute, the secular arm of the State of Cameroon in terms of agricultural development, mobilised a slew of achievements from IRAD's fruitful research in recent years in the fields of crop production, animal and fish production, biodiversity, forestry and the environment. In honour of the President of the Republic, Paul BIYA, a great promoter of the development of scientific research in Cameroon.
