Smoke it Yourself!

Buy fresh fish and smoke it at home using clean firewood, proper hygiene, and safe storage. That way, you control what goes into your food.

Exposed fish can cause food poisoning, expose you to toxins, and even lead to long-term health problems.

Try smoking yours. A little effort can save your health. Don’t gamble with your stomach — or your life.

Bamenda’s Orange Economy – Where Do the Oranges Come From?

Have you ever wondered where all the juicy oranges in Bamenda come from? Behind every fruit stand and basket at Mile 4, food market, Ntarikon market, Commercial Avenue, or Nkwen Market is a hardworking farmer from our surrounding villages.

Santa Subdivision is the top contributor, with fertile land in places like Akum and Pinyin producing some of the sweetest citrus around.

Bafut and Tubah also grow oranges, especially in areas like Bambui and Nkwen, where mixed farming is common.

Out in Mbengwi, Batibo, and parts of Ndop, farmers are also tapping into orange production, adding to the seasonal supply.
These oranges not only feed our families but also fuel trade, support transporters, and provide income to thousands of locals.
Support local farmers and sellers. Every orange you buy helps build Bamenda’s agricultural economy!

Car Tyres to 'Burn' Kanda! 😳

Cow skin (commonly called "kanda") is a popular delicacy. However, the methods used to prepare and dry it could pose serious health risks.

Some kanda vendors use tyres, plastics, or synthetic materials to burn off hair from cow skin due to their strong flames. These tyres and plastics release toxic chemicals and heavy metals that can remain on the kanda and when eaten can increase the risk of cancer, organ damage, and reproductive issues.

Sometimes the smoking takes place in open, dirty environments where it is exposed to dust, insects, animal waste, or smoke from unclean fuels. This can lead to contamination from bacteria, parasites, and harmful particles. Long-term exposure may lead to foodborne illnesses and respiratory problems.

Water used to wash the skin may come from dirty streams, or unhygienic containers. Pathogens in contaminated water can cause diarrhea, cholera, typhoid, and other infections.

To avoid the above problems it is better to use firewood or gas instead of tires or plastic. Use clean water to wash and dry in clean environments.
