Earlier Report Observations

The Cameroonian fresh melon market volume grew from 47 170 t in 2018 to 47 999 t in 2020. This increase coincided with a sharp drop in prices for some fresh produce like tomatoes due to excess supply in Yaoundé markets, a trend that likely extended to melons and boosted consumption volumes.

After a slight dip to 47 571 t in 2021, the market recovered to 47 761 t by 2023. In 2022, the Ministry of Agriculture published a list of authorized fertilizers, improving input access for farmers and supporting melon production capacity.

Overall, the market demonstrated gradual expansion from 2018 to 2023, influenced by agricultural supply conditions and policy measures aimed at enhancing production.
