Indeed, it is an interesting country to do business with specifically as it is often described as “Africa in Miniature” due to its ethnic, linguistic and geographic diversity.

As the largest economy in the six-nation of CEMAC (Central African Economic & Monetary Community), this country has:

• Ample labor force
• Wealth of natural resources
• Rich potential in the agricultural, forestry, and mining sectors
• Enviable location between markets in West & Central Africa

Moreover, the Government of Cameroon actively seeks to attract foreign investment in order to create much-needed economic growth and employment.

In recent years, numerous trade delegations have been visiting, exploring investment opportunities, and fully establishing their businesses in Cameroon. These include delegations from Germany, China, Singapore, India, Thailand, Brazil, and Turkey.

Cameroon mainly imports semi-processed products, industrial inputs, machinery, food products, pharmaceuticals, automobile, machinery, and light crude oil from other countries.

The European Union is Cameroon's main trading bloc, accounting for about 41.1% of total imports and 55.1% of exports, according to government statistics. France and China are Cameroon's main trading partners, but the United States is a leading investor in Cameroon.

With regard to the U.S - Cameroon trade facts, the office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) reports:

"Cameroon is currently our 113th largest goods trading partner with $698 million in total (two way) goods trade during 2013. Goods exports totaled $331 million; goods imports totaled $367 million." (Kindly read more on this at: http://www.ustr.gov/countries-regions/africa/cameroon).
