2015 season Cameroon cocoa production outlook : Prospects for cocoa production in Cameroon in the 2015 season are not bright. The Bank for Central African States in its fourth quarter forecast of the evolution of economic activities in Cameroon holds that the sector is poised to witness a slowdown with production to reduce from 230,000 to 210,000 tonnes. The document of the national branch of BEAC, published on September 28, 2015, also gives summary data of government departments and companies that are regularly interviewed. The document prospects mitigated results for the primary sector.
After about 230,000 tonnes in the 2014/2015 season, cocoa production in the 2015/2016 season is poised to witness a downturn in connection with the phenomenon of vegetal dormancy. According to estimates of the National Cocoa and Coffee Board, ONCC, production can only reach 210,000 tonnes, a drop of 20,000 metric tonnes. The September 30, 2014 recovery plan and the transparent management of projects and programmes are expected to turn over tides.
However, auditing the previous projects and programmes that received billions of FCFA as funding with little spinoffs after scaling up production is recommended. ONCC however reported that the last cocoa season in Cameroon produced 206,550 tonnes- a 9 per cent decline relatively to the 2012/2013 season. On the contrary, exports hit 6,666 tonnes in August 2014- the first month of the 2014/2015 season. The board however indicated that exports rose to 500 tonnes compared to the same period the previous season.
