Bizzell Signs MOU to Boost Agribusiness in Gabon

Bizzell Signs MOU to Boost Agribusiness in Gabon

Bizzell International and Bizzell Global are proud to have participated in the U.S.-Africa Business Center event, hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce this month. This significant event brought together key players from both the U.S. and African business communities to explore opportunities for collaboration and growth.

Our CEO, Anton C. Bizzell, M.D., had the distinct honor of delivering the Vote of Thanks on behalf of the private sector. During this pivotal moment, Dr. Bizzell recognized His Excellency, President Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema, and the Gabonese delegation for their dedication to fostering business ties between the U.S. and Gabon.

One of the central topics highlighted by Bizzell during the signing of a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was the company’s commitment to addressing one of Gabon’s most pressing challenges—food insecurity. Gabon, despite its wealth of natural resources, remains heavily reliant on food imports, which leaves the country vulnerable to global supply chain disruptions. Through targeted partnerships and projects, Bizzell is actively working to help Gabon become more self-sufficient in food production.

Key initiatives Bizzell include:

  • 5,000-hectare Maize and Soybean Plantation in Ndjokal/Roungassa: In collaboration with local partners, this project aims to produce 20,000 tons of maize and 11,200 tons of soybeans annually by 2028, reducing Gabon’s reliance on imported livestock feed.
  • 2,000 hectares of Cassava and 1,000 hectares of Bananas: By cultivating these key crops locally and establishing a cassava processing unit, Gabon can significantly reduce its food imports, taking strides towards achieving food security.
  • Agricultural Development in Kango and Andem: Spanning 23,000 hectares in Kango and 7,952 hectares in Andem, this project focuses on staple foods like cassava, taro, sweet potatoes, fruits, and expanding into poultry, pig farming, and aquaculture. The aim is to enhance Gabon’s local food production and reduce its dependency on imports.

These projects underscore Bizzell’s expertise in agribusiness and agricultural value chain development, providing critical solutions to Gabon’s food security challenges. With our support, Gabon is on a path toward a more sustainable agricultural future, ensuring long-term food security and economic stability for its people.
