The challenge in Cameroon
What the figures say
With a network that is overwhelmingly unpaved, the rainy season cuts production areas off from their markets. The task is to organise flows at territorial level: priority roads, consolidation, cold storage.
Services in this domain
4 coded services
Agricultural logistics corridors
Transport routes without services, unorganised transhipment points, logistics costs that wipe out margins.
Rural logistics hubs
No consolidation: each producer hires transport alone, at a loss.
Territorial cold chain
Perishable products (milk, fish, fruit) lost for want of a cold link between production and market.
Rural road signage
Roads and structures without signs: accidents, poor wayfinding, structures damaged by unsuitable traffic.
