The 2020-2021 season of marketed coffee production recorded a drop of 50.7% in Cameroon. The new 2021-2022 campaign was launched on Wednesday February 16 with the hope of changing the game with great performances.

Between the aging of plantations and the disinterest of young people, the future of bean cultivation is compromised in Cameroon. According to the report carried out by the National Office of Cocoa and Coffee (ONCC), Wednesday February 16, during the launch ceremony of the 2021-2022 campaign, the 2020-2021 marketed production (which includes stocks from the previous campaign ) of coffee has seen a drastic decline. It reached its lowest level in the last five campaigns, peaking at 12,157 tons. This marketed production thus fell for the first time below the 20,000 tonnes mark recorded since the 2015-2016 campaign.

In detail, robusta production has fallen by half, from 23,239 tonnes in 2019-2020 to only 11,745 tonnes in 2020-2021, while that of arabica (412 tonnes) does not represent than a third of the volume marketed during the 2019-2020 campaign ( 1,452 tonnes).
