Cocoa exists in the Northwest Region of Cameroon. Yet, most of it gets bad, underused or sold to Nigeria, as cocoa farmers have themselves said. The northwest region has an untap potential to produce and supply cocoa to international markets, yet they face problems even trying to sell it. Because of this, they produce cocoa way below their capacity. Today, the region supplies around 8,600–9,033 tons of cocoa yearly, but with the right partnerships, it could easily reach more than 12,000+ tons annually within 18 months.
