About Cameroon rice

Rice in Cameroon is grown mainly on the irrigated plains of the Far North, around the Logone river, and on the Ndop plain in the North-West region.

Cameroon also consumes much of its own rice, so export volumes depend on the season. We confirm available quantity and grade for each inquiry rather than advertising standing stock.
