(Business in Cameroon) - Cameroon’s banana shipments reached 17,137 tons in November 2018, the national banana association (Assobacam) said.

Of this volume, Société des Plantations du haut Penja, local branch of Marseille fruit company, exported 15,821 tons, 10 times more than Boh Plantations which shipped only 1,316 tons.

Let’s mention that since September 2018, Cameroon Development Corporation (CDC) has exported no bananas due to the Anglophone crisis-related violence that forced the company to shut down production sites; sites that became training camps for separatists, according to a report from the Cameroonian employers group (Gicam).
