The Ministry of Livestock, Fisheries and Livestock Industry in Cameroon has destroyed 5 tons of illegally imported frozen chicken and pork products. The ministry stated that the importation of these products, which came from Equatorial Guinea, disrupted the market order of chicken and pork in Cameroon and damaged the interests of local producers. Since 2006, Cameroon has banned the import of frozen chicken and pork to protect the local market. Despite this ban, smuggling incidents still occur.
