The improvement of agricultural practices and the support of various actors is boosting the Cameroonian bean, which is now performing well.

During the previous campaign, Cameroon produced its best volume of quality beans in the last twenty years. The Cameroonian bean has gained in flavor and value. Indeed, more than 226,300 tonnes of beans out of the 292,471 tonnes marketed were subjected to quality control before export. "On the qualitative aspect, the 2020-2021 campaign broke all records in terms of the best submission volume of all time and the best percentage of Grade I quality in the last twenty years", writes the National Cocoa and Coffee. The quality bonus for cocoa farmers initiated several seasons ago is another motivation for producers who now know that the better the bean, the more it earns. Alongside this aspect, the transformation, still at an embryonic stage, should also be accentuated. For the campaign that is ending, local processing was 62,425 tonnes thanks to 34 units identified across the country.
