Cameroon timber output to plunge by September amid weak demand

Cameroon timber output to plunge by September amid weak demand

Posted on August 30, 2024   |  

Cameroon's forestry sector is expected to slow down between July and September 2024 due to weaker demand.

The sector is also struggling with poor road conditions and power outages in forest areas.

Rising export taxes on logs and partially processed wood in Cameroon are impacting local forestry businesses.

The government plans to ban log exports from the CEMAC region and the DRC by 2028 to encourage local processing.
