Domestic market power

A dynamic population of 25 million consumers driving demand for manufactured and agricultural goods across the region.

Resource transformation

What drives (and challenges) Cameroon’s trade

Major industries

Wood processing

Cameroon is a key regional exporter of sawn timber, with steady demand from Europe and China driving growth in value-added processing.

Coffee production

Local roasting and refining are expanding, transforming Cameroon’s traditional coffee exports into higher-margin products.

Petroleum and extractives

Crude and refined petroleum exports continue to anchor the economy, supporting infrastructure and foreign exchange stability.

Emerging risks

Re-export mislabeling

Customs union rules and data processing issues cause export–import misclassification, complicating trade visibility.

Geopolitical pressure

U.S. policy tensions with CEMAC and IMF-related disputes may redirect trade and investment flows toward China and the EU.

Sanctions exposure

Links to sanctioned entities in logistics chains highlight growing compliance risks for regional operators.
