(Business in Cameroon) - In April 2018, Cameroon was the second sawn wood exporter to Canada, the International Tropical Timber Organisation revealed in its sectoral report for June 1-15, 2018 period.
As it was the case in January 2018, Cameroon was the second exporter behind the United States of America and ahead of Brazil. According to the organization, this is because of the attraction Canadian buyers have for acajou and Sapelli which were the main varieties Cameroon exported to Canada.
During the same period, the overall Canadian imports of sawn wood have increased by 10% in April, but, on a year on year basis, it decreased by 25%.
