Cameroon plans to invest CFA1.12 trillion in agriculture to cut food imports by 28% by 2030, according to a government plan reported on 22 October 2026.
The plan, which the government has not yet detailed in a public decree or budget document, sets the 2030 target for reducing imports. The figure is equivalent to CFA1,120 billion. The government has not said how the investment will be financed or over what period it will be spent.
The plan follows a rise in food imports in recent years. The government has not published a breakdown of the investment by crop or region.
The 28% target would reduce the share of imported food in the national market. The government has not said which products would be affected or how the reduction would be measured.
The plan is part of a broader effort to increase domestic agricultural production. The government has not said when the investment would begin or which agency would manage it.
The 2030 target is the first time the government has set a specific figure for reducing food imports. The government has not said whether the target is binding or indicative.
