Tridge summary

Cameroon's cocoa production is expected to rise to 276,900 tonnes by 2024, according to the World Bank, a slight increase from previous estimates. The country is aiming for a production target of 600,000 tonnes as part of a 2014 cocoa and coffee recovery plan, which also includes processing 50% of cocoa beans locally. However, domestic production has remained steady at around 300,000 tonnes in recent years, and local processing is below target due to a shortage of beans. Despite these challenges, the government is continuing its efforts to meet the targets and enhance the sector's contribution to the country's economy.
