Women group which is described to contribute significantly to economic activity including agriculture in many African countries where it has been likinyimwa weight to improve their farming practices.
Among these countries are Cameroon, where women farmers despite being indisputably the production of paddy, they use inferior materials to practice.
When conditions so women in national development and thus bring them back, for men the situation is different since they are easy to find what they want in improving their farming.
That is the challenge of patriarchy that has been a source of violence and harassment against women in Africa.
But most certainly, women are empowered in health, education and the economy, poverty in Africa can be given back on.
Although the woman is the largest and most important pillar in the life and development of the individual, society and the nation at large.
With testimony given by various international organizations known as the growth of the continent's development can not happen without the involvement of women as key stakeholders in the process, many are still ignored.
Why rice? Linalozalishwa their mass is in Africa and the world in general as they are eaten by local people from around the world.
It is the second crop of corn linalozalishwa abound on this planet after maize.
But as corn is bred for food purposes other than that, it is likely that rice is inspired by the world to be used as fodder.
Likewise rice can be used as a food crop and businesses and are essential for building a healthy body.
In addition rice despite often have the best price comparison and corn produces higher yields than corn grain.
Going back into the challenges faced by women farmers in Cameroon;
Suppose story of the woman farmer in Cameroon; for more than 20 years now, Anastazia Gwaun Bamunkumbit from the village of the country, has been growing this crop while facing various challenges.
These challenges include cultivated using outdated technology that is; hoe.
He himself believes that the man would have been easier for him to reach that ingemrahisishia technology to do the job quickly, efficiently and in a great location.
Because it says rice is very hard work, especially for women despite having economic and social benefits provided there is good planning.
The farmer says he engaged in planting and other stages of rice production by using inferior materials or kuvikosa completely.
He says unlike women like him, men who are involved in the cultivation of this crop in the village, it helps them to get loans or get them to simplify their work tractors.
The farmer told IPS news agency that women have a lot of problems, as they have no authority to own land and often find themselves plowing on farms owned by men.
She also directed cultivated areas grown using tractors and therefore it is clear that using tractors will be completed first and then the women follow behind.
Business CameroonAnasema paddy rice cultivation would be easier for him if he would be working kumrahisishia technologies such as rice kupukuchua machines, gardening equipment weeds and other critical equipment used in the agriculture.
But unfortunately very much like many African women, is not able to find them easily.
As a result of research conducted by the research center of paddy, the African region shows that compared to women, men in the agricultural sector have a greater chance of getting rasilimiali such as land ownership, access to capital, education and modern facilities agriculture.
It also linachangiwa and existing cultural and economic potential.
According to the specialist on gender issues at the center, Afiavi Aghbor-Noameshie, there is no effective system of gender in the rice sector in Africa.
That includes that women are involved kikamlilifu in all agricultural activities ranging from climbing up the search market, but they are not given priority in terms of technology.
At present, the South leads to import rice imported from spending more than what inachozalisha.
For example, last year the continent is used a total of five billion US dollars to import 12 tons of rice imported despite that is able to feed itself if strategies to empower women, including set.
