Banana exports: 351% increase in 2024

Such an increase could attract more investment in the banana sector, which could strengthen agricultural infrastructure and technologies.
The significant increase in banana exports could contribute to Cameroon’s economic growth, increasing export revenues and creating jobs in the agricultural sector.
Increased exports can also encourage farmers to improve their farming practices, which can lead to better food security at the local level.
And on the environmental level, banana plantations can have effects on the environment, especially with regard to biodiversity and water use. Sustainable management is therefore, essential.
In order to be future-proof, the implementation of sustainable agricultural practices should be encouraged. As well as adoption for farmers, to environmentally friendly practices to minimize the impact of increased production,
Investment in Technology, Training and Awareness and Product Diversification to explore new markets are avenues to be exploited to maintain if not increase the growth of agriculture in Cameroon, in a global manner.
