(Business in Cameroon) - Open Timber Portal (OTP). This is the name of a platform launched on August 29, 2019, in Yaoundé to provide information about the traceability of Cameroonian woods to buyers.

For the time being, official sources reveal, only 15 of the about 50 wood exporters operating in the country have already published information about their operations.

This XAF59 million project, which lasted 12 months, was funded by the European Union, the UK and the USA.
