HC Deb 04 May 1955 vol 540 cc1671-2
16. Sir R. Robinson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies, in view of increased world consumption of tea, what consideration is being given to the possibility of tea production in the Southern Cameroons.

Mr. Hopkinson

The Department of Agriculture established experimental plots and a seed garden at Bambui in 1952. The Cameroons Development Corporation has conducted similar experiments on a 70-acre tea garden at Tole which it now proposes to extend by stages to 700 acres.
