From the outside, you can see pastries, cakes, breadsticks, and other fondants through a bay window. “We emphasized the cleanliness of the place. Our products are meticulously prepared, and our pastry considers international standards in this area each time a touch is Made In Cameroon. It is the meeting between two culinary cultures. That of France and Cameroon, “says Henry Fokwen Rocher, General Manager of the Moulin de France.

In its interior décor, locally made works of art exhibit the luxury of the woods of the forests of southern Cameroon. Colorful cutlery, a fragrance that combines both tradition and modernity, emerges from the rooms. “Our concept being traditional, we wanted to stay in a rustic setting so as not to turn away from our essence,” adds Henry Fokwen. This bakery-pastry approach stands out from the others by the singularity of its flavors and the originality of its décor. Stunning views of the chic Bastos neighborhood.

Gains agricoles

The products processed in these modern spaces come straight from the country’s major agricultural production basins. We have in West Cameroon the localities of Foumbot, Kouoptamo (renowned for their fresh food), Dschang, and Mbouda, and in the Center, we have the departments of Lékié, Mbam-et-Inoubou, Mbam-et-Kim and the locality of Awaé (for the abundant production of pineapple), the plantations of Penja in the Littoral region. “All our fruit comes exclusively from Cameroonian plantations. When one of the fruits is missing, we stock up on the local market. We have purchasing specialists who know how to select good quality products.”

Farmers and farmers’ organizations supply large cities and thus contribute to boosting production capacity, diversifying products, and creating a supply chain that benefits all links in the chain. “My vision is to offer the best of the country by relying on products imported from France to always guarantee the standing imposed by the quality of all our products,” says Henry Fokwen Rocher.

In addition to Douala and Yaoundé, the long-term vision of Moulin de France is to extend this enterprise to other localities in the country and even outside.
