Earlier Report Observations

The market for in-shell hazelnuts in Cameroon expanded consistently from 2018 to 2022, with the total volume rising from 158.5 metric tons to 166.3 metric tons. This growth was primarily driven by a steady increase in domestic production, which climbed from 159.9 metric tons to 163.5 metric tons over the same period, while import and export activities remained minimal.

After reaching its peak, the market volume experienced a slight contraction in 2023, falling to 163.7 metric tons. This decrease coincided with a small reduction in production and a brief return of export activity after several years of negligible shipments abroad.
