Project Banka Coop
Context
The idea of starting a worker's coop in the rural village of Banka in Bafang Cameroon Africa. The idea came from the need to encourage local consumption of foodstuff cultivated by local agricultural laborers. As the market prices of goods are rising in Cameroon, agricultural producers may harvest more but gain less.
