The context in Cameroon

8.4%of the road network is paved: 10,226 km out of 121,873 km. Most of the municipal network is unpaved.Ministry of Public Works (MINTP), interview with the Minister in Cameroon Tribune · data as at 31/12/2023 · source ↗
17.7%of the maize harvest is lost after harvest, about 261,000 tonnes.APHLIS, cereal post-harvest losses, Cameroon · 2021 estimates · source ↗
