(Business in Cameroon) - In its recent Q4 forecast on the evolution of economic activities in Cameroon, the Bank of Central African States (BEAC) predicts a drop of 20,000 tons in Cameroon’s 2014-2015 cocoa production.

According to these previsions, Cameroon’s national cocoa output for this season, which began in August 2015 and will end in mid-June next year, will reach 210,000 tons against a little more than 232,000 tons for the 2014-2015 season.

According to experts, the main explanation for this downward forecast similar to that of the National Cocoa and Coffee Board (ONCC) is that the current cocoa season falls in the period of vegetal dormancy which occurs every 5 years.
