Cameroon

Cameroon has one of the more diversified economies in Central Africa, drawing on oil, agriculture, and timber, though growth is held back by corruption, poor infrastructure, and ongoing conflicts.

Often called 'Africa in miniature' for its geographic and cultural diversity, it faces a separatist crisis in its English-speaking regions and Boko Haram violence in the north.

Key Sectors

The economy rests on oil, agriculture (cocoa, coffee, cotton, bananas), timber, and increasingly natural gas, with the port of Douala serving much of Central Africa.
