Promote 2026: Ecopark Introduces The 1.5 Million FCFA Chicken To Fairgoers

As the Promote 2026 international business fair crosses its sixth day at the Yaoundé Conference Centre - running from June 12-21, 2026 - the sprawling exhibition grounds are showcasing more than just heavy industry and imported goods. A quiet, green revolution is taking roots just a few steps from the main entrance of the Yaounde Conference Centre. 
Making its very first debut at the fair, the Écoparc Training Center of Ahala, Barrière, Yaoundé, has captured the attention of forward-thinking entrepreneurs and young job-seekers alike. By merging the precision of high-end hospitality with the lucrative, high-yield niche of exotic agropastoralism, the center is introducing a bold, self-reliant model designed to tackle youth unemployment and reshape Cameroon’s agricultural landscape.

Intersection Of Service And Soil
Mrs. Linda Essinga Assoa, Director of the Écoparc Training Center, has brought her institution’s expertise directly to the public to demonstrate that modern vocational training must be both diverse and commercially viable. While the broader Écoparc tourist complex has historical ties to the regional leisure ecosystem, Mrs. Linda Essinga Assoa has orchestrated this specific trip exclusively to reveal the inner mechanics of their specialized professional training center.

Hospitality Industry Section 
On the hospitality front, Mrs. Linda Essinga Assoa explains that the center provides full-spectrum operational training covering culinary arts, pastry making, bar and restaurant management, accommodation services, and interior decoration. However, the true crowd-stopper at their Promote stand is the center’s radical approach to agropastoral training. 
Rather than limiting students to conventional farming methods, Écoparc trains youth in high-density fish farming, modern swine management, and the intensive rearing of rare, exotic poultry species that command premium market valuations across the continent.

The 1.5 Million FCFA Chicken
Mrs. Linda Essinga Assoa stunned fairgoers by breaking down the immense economic potential hidden within exotic avian husbandry, specifically highlighting the Ayam Cemani - an entirely black chicken breed known globally as the most expensive poultry line in the world. Mrs. Linda Essinga Assoa revealed that a single high-grade specimen can command up to 1,500,000 FCFA on the market. 
While acknowledging that such an elite commodity is not found "on every street corner" due to its cost, she emphasized that a dedicated domestic market exists, with high demand from specialized collectors, high-end hospitality hubs, and luxury agricultural investors.

Feedmaking 
To turn this into an accessible reality for local youths, Mrs. Linda Essinga Assoa noted that Écoparc does not just teach basic bird care; the center trains students on how to formulate specialized feed on-site to dramatically lower production overheads. Alongside mastering complex animal health components to manage poultry vitality. 
Alongside the Ayam Cemani, the center instructs on the breeding of fluffy Silkies, massive Brahmas, premium guinea fowl, and high-yield quails. Mrs. Linda Essinga Assoa pointed out the exceptional health benefits of quail eggs, noting their proven medicinal value in regulating blood pressure, managing diabetes, and rejuvenating skin health. Which creates an immediate, highly profitable wellness market for graduates.

First-Time Campaign In Slow Market
Mrs. Linda Essinga Assoa candidly shared her observations on the fair's layout, acknowledging that as a first-time exhibitor, establishing immediate traction can be demanding. Mrs. Linda Essinga Assoa observed that while the fair's momentum "is taking a bit of time to take off," the center's interactive stand is rapidly gaining pace as curiosity peaks regarding their unique agricultural offerings.
For visitors looking to connect with the institution, Mrs. Linda Essinga Assoa has ensured a strong omni-channel presence. The center can be located digitally on TikTok and Facebook under "Centre de formation professionnelle Écoparc", or reached directly via the director’s personal line at 655 94 79 40.

Promise Of Integration
Mrs. Linda Essinga Assoa concluded her feature showcase with a direct, urgent appeal to the thousands of young Cameroonians navigating a challenging job market. She urged the youth to come forward in great numbers to embrace technical training, promising that an investment in these skills offers a clear path out of underemployment.

Post-training Support 
The defining differentiator for Écoparc, Mrs. Linda Essinga Assoa emphasized, is their strict commitment to post-training support. The center does not simply hand out diplomas and walk away. They provide continuous, structured mentoring and strategic assistance to ensure successful socio-professional integration. By equipping the next generation with the skills to manage both a luxury kitchen and a 1.5 million FCFA exotic poultry farm, Écoparc is proving at Promote 2026 that Cameroon’s youth possess the tools to construct their own economic resilience.
