Sugar: Cameroon’s exports soar to 8047 tons in 2025 (+429%), despite production deficit

Cameroon exported 8047 tons of sugar in 2025, according to the National Institute of Statistics. This figure marks a significant increase from the 512 tons exported in 2024. Despite an annual production of 120,000 to 160,000 tons, national demand is estimated at nearly 300,000 tons, leading to imports to support the domestic market. The rise in exports may reflect commercial arbitrage towards neighboring markets rather than a genuine international expansion.
