Agriculture In Cameroon Market Analysis
The Cameroon agriculture market size stands at USD 10.2 billion in 2025 and is forecast to reach USD 12.7 billion by 2030, reflecting a 4.5% CAGR over the forecast period. Sustained urban population growth is translating into higher demand for cereals, roots, and processed foods, while AfCFTA-driven trade liberalization is widening regional sales channels. Infrastructure upgrades along the Douala-Ndjamena corridor are lowering logistics costs, and mobile produce platforms are trimming traditional middle-chain margins. Simultaneously, climate-smart investments, such as small-scale irrigation and index-based crop insurance are safeguarding rural incomes against intensifying climate volatility and price shocks.
Agriculture In Cameroon Market Trends and Insights
Rising domestic demand for cereals and roots
Urbanization already covers 58% of the population and is shifting diets toward rice, maize, cassava, yams, and plantains. The PIISAH initiative seeks to trim the USD 242 million rice import bill by amplifying local production, a move that also supports feed demand from Cameroon's expanding poultry sector. Farmers are, therefore, reallocating land and inputs from traditional export crops to cereals, signaling a structural realignment in the crops in the Cameroon market.
AfCFTA-enabled regional export access
Trade facilitation reforms could lower customs times by up to 2.7 days on imports and 1.7 days on exports, cutting trade costs and boosting agricultural exports by 8.1%. Cameroon's gateway position to Central Africa allows processed cocoa, coffee, and palm-based products to reach Chad and the Central African Republic more competitively. The USD 380 million upgrade of the Douala-Ndjamena corridor is pivotal for pushing bulk grains and packaged foods into landlocked neighbors, Africa Newsroom. Harmonized phytosanitary rules remain a prerequisite for full tariff-free benefits.
Intensifying climate volatility (Sahelian North)
Floods in 2024 damaged 85,253 ha of crops and affected 158,620 people. Rainfall distribution is increasingly erratic, causing drought during critical cereal growth phases and sudden inundation later in the season. Soil erosion compounds water stress, cutting yields for millet and sorghum that anchor food security. Adaptation efforts are pivoting toward drought-tolerant varieties, micro-dams, and early-warning systems.
Other drivers and restraints analyzed in the detailed report include:
Public irrigation/rice-valley megaprojects / Mobile-enabled produce marketplaces / Fall armyworm and viral plant disease spikes /

Segment Analysis
Cash crops held 52.3% of the crops in the Cameroon market in 2024. Cocoa output ranked fifth worldwide at 295,028 metric tons, buoyed by international prices surpassing USD 10,000/ton. Coffee delivers Arabica and Robusta streams to niche buyers, while cotton integrates farming, ginning, and marketing under SODECOTON. Palm oil expansion is accelerating as investors add new mills and replant aging groves. Export receipts from this cluster anchor rural incomes and offset foreign exchange needs.
Cereals register the fastest growth at 7.2% CAGR through 2030 as public policy pivots toward food security. Maize remains pivotal for household diets and feed mills, yet fall armyworm threats reinforce the case for resistant hybrids. Northern rice schemes already produce two-thirds of domestic output but still cover under 40% of local demand, underlining potential import substitution gains. Fruits and vegetables ride the wave of urban diet diversification, with banana exports rising 19% year on year to 15,543 metric tons in May 2024.
