Ebamut village, Bangem Sub Division, will soon have its own branded palm oil, and the first processing plant in Kupe Muanenguba, the Divisional Delegate for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises, Social Economy and Handicraft, MINPMEESA, Ngoupayou Louh Marcel Herve revealed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The promise came on 2 May 2026, after villagers gave the Delegate a rousing welcome at the Chief\u2019s palace despite torrential rains and rough roads.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the DD to come on a Saturday shows this is serious,\u201d HRM Esong Julius Etiba of Ebamut told his people.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Chief and kingmakers offered blessings, praying that \u201cGod and the ancestors give the right energy to the Delegate and all stakeholders to realize good actions for the development of their \u00a0village.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ngoupayou\u2019s visit to Ebamut \u00a0followed a \u201cpowerful exhibition\u201d by Ebamut Palm Oil Producers, EPOP, at Labour Day in Bangem. That showcase, the Delegate said, proved Ebamut oil could compete, if packaged right. So MINPMEESA is now launching the \u2018Ebamut Palm Oil Label\u2019, with improved bottling and branding to move the product from buckets to supermarkets.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But the bigger vow drew louder applause: \u201cKupe Muanenguba has no processing unit. We must change that,\u201d the DD declared. He committed to drafting a business plan for a palm and kernel oil processing plant in Ebamut \u2014 the first of its kind in the Division. The plant would buy from local farmers, crush on site, and create direct jobs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The industrialization plan goes beyond palm. Working with MINMIDT and Forestry, MINPMEESA will push projects for sand, stone, and wood production units in Ebamut to tap the area\u2019s natural resources. \u201cWe are sitting on wealth. We must transform it here,\u201d the Delegate said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Plantain farmers got a direct answer too. King Maker Ebene Paul raised concerns over low prices that leave producers poor. \u201cSelling raw keeps us poor. Processing is key \u2014 not just for plantain, but for cocoa, coffee, cassava,\u201d the DD responded. He urged cooperatives to consider chips, flour, and other value-added products.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To keep momentum, three youths were designated to liaise with the Delegation on every project. Villagers also asked for real-time alerts on training and funding.<\/p>\n

Ngoupayou praised HRM Chief Esong for \u201cstanding to ask for information in the interest of the community\u201d and pledged that his office \u201cwill always be available for the promotion of community development.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before explaining MINPMEESA\u2019s mission, the Delegate sensitized the crowd on craft registration, urging artisans to formalize so they can access support.<\/p>\n

The meeting closed with \u201citem 11\u201d \u2014 a communal meal laced with the celebrated Ebamut Palm Oil. \u201cThe taste was wonderful,\u201d said one elder. \u201cNow the world should taste it too.\u201d<\/p>\n

If the label and plant take off, Ebamut shifts from raw supplier to agro-industrial hub.<\/p>\n
