Dr. Taïga’s host came to present him with a trophy received on March 11, 2020 in Pretoria, South Africa. The trophy was awarded at the end of an annual event organized by the Norwegian-Dutch company TOPIGS NORSWING, No. 1 in pig genetics in Africa. The trophy was donated by the South African partners who have been supporting Westend Farms SA financially, technically and with genetic material since 2012. It also recognizes the performance of Westend Farms SA, which has achieved very rapid improvement in the pig industry.

The Minister of Livestock, Fisheries and Animal Industries congratulated Westend Farms SA for promoting the Cameroon label abroad, and above all for its remarkable contribution to making pork products available on the market alongside other livestock and fishery products.

As a reminder, as part of the support provided to producers by the Ministry of Livestock, Fisheries and Animal Industries with regard to high-performance pig breeds, Westend Farms SA, received some fifty piglets (NAIMA) in September 2014. Five years later, the company has succeeded in boosting its production, especially with the germplasm support offered by TOPIGS NORSWING.
