VOICED : Untapped potential: Central African Republic develops its agricultural sector

Jean-Luc Tette, a local businessman, is promoting regenerative agriculture using traditional methods to boost agribusiness potential. His initiative involves community profit-sharing and aims to create a sustainable agricultural model. However, investment remains limited, with the Palm Door Company as the sole major investor.
