(Business in Cameroon) - The Extreme-North region of Cameroon produced a total of 9,544 tonnes of meat in 2014. This was revealed at the last agricultural fair held in December 2014. The total includes 8,294 tonnes of beef, 352 tonnes of mutton, 833 tonnes of goat and 65 tonnes of pork.

According to farming authorities in this region, the sector was affected last year by the abandonment of some herds in villages by farmers who feared attacks by the Boko Haram Nigerian Islamist sect which has been making increasingly murderous incursions in Cameroon.
