Abstract
This study, competitiveness of the value
chain of the agricultural sector in Cameroon, aims to help
the Government achieve its objectives for the rural sector.
The main objective of this study was to provide information
on the potentials, investment and growth policies of
commercial agriculture in Cameroon. It gives an overview of
the constraints and analyzes the national, regional or
international competitiveness of six value chains of the
agricultural sector. This paper examines family and large
agro-industrial farms from different regions of Cameroon.
The six aspects studied are: cassava, cotton, maize, palm
oil, plantain and poultry. The primary purpose of this study
of competitiveness is to identify products and operating
systems already competitive or having the ability to become
competitive on the domestic, regional or global market. The
Government has explicitly asked the Bank to support new
projects of its agricultural program. This economic and
sectoral work will serve as a basis for a new loan to the
agricultural sector of Cameroon.
