Created by decree No. 74/182 of March 8, 1974, amended and supplemented by decree No. 81/395 of September 9, 1981, then supplemented by the presidential decree of February 12, 2021 transforming it into a Public Capital Company, the Société de Développement et d’Exploitation des Productions Animales (SODEPA) is a Public Limited Company with a Board of Directors with a capital of 11,962,221,262 CFA francs (eleven billion nine hundred and sixty-two million two hundred and twenty-one thousand two hundred and sixty-one CFA francs) with headquarters in the city of Yaoundé, rue Foe.

A first-class company, it plays a strategic role in socio-economic development, guaranteeing de facto equitable growth in the country’s economic ecosystem through the management of ranches, slaughterhouses, cold stores and the creation of modern butcher shops. This state-owned company, little known to the Cameroonian public, has seen several leaders succeed one another at its head. The new top management has launched a long-term development plan with a thorough overhaul with innovations in the field of management, research and development and the establishment of government recommendations on security stocks. It has become a tool of prime importance for the public authorities with the main objectives of guaranteeing food security and self-sufficiency in beef, goat and sheep in Cameroon.
