Expert Coffee Producers from Cameroon

    Your guide to Cameroon Coffee

    • History of coffee in Cameroon

      Cameroon's coffee industry started in the late 19th century, when German settlers introduced coffee farming. Over the years, production grew steadily, and at its peak, Cameroon contributed around 2% of the global coffee market.

      However, after the 1990s agricultural liberalisation, many farmers shifted to more profitable crops, leading to a sharp decline in coffee production—by 50% in the 2000s. Since then, the industry has struggled to regain its former output.

      Today, Cameroon faces challenges like ageing trees, poor soil, reduced inputs, and lack of expertise in processing. Internal conflicts have also impacted transportation and exports. Despite this, Cameroon remains a significant coffee producer, with smallholder farms and cooperatives working hard to maintain production.

      Traditionally known for growing robusta, the late 1990s saw a shift as farmers in the western and northwestern highlands began cultivating arabica. The region’s high altitudes and volcanic soils make it ideal for producing high-quality arabica coffee.

    • When is the best time to source Cameroonian coffee?

      Cameroon's harvest season begins from around September onwards, so it is best to start planning your procurement a few months before the season begins. You can then expect your coffee to be shipped from 1-3 months after the period starts.

    • How to buy and import coffee from Cameroon

      When sourcing specialty coffee beans from Cameroon, it is best to do some research into some of the coffee associations operating throughout the country. The National Cocoa and Coffee Board (NCCB) offers a great starting point. Through this board, you will be able to learn about the best farms and cooperatives to potentially start doing business with. While Cameroon mainly produces robusta varietals, you can find some high quality arabica farms toward the west and northwestern highlands. Estates such as ‘Cameroon Boyo’ are well worth contacting as they can connect you with other arabica farms within the arabica growing regions.


      Make sure to take the time to do your research into your options as it will give you the best chance of finding the perfect product for your business. After researching deeper into your available producers, it is then best to get in touch with them directly. This will enable you to better understand how your prospective producer works. You could then organise a visit, or a virtual tour.


      If you are happy with your producer, you can then begin to organise shipments. Always ensure that their paperwork and certifications are correct and up to date.

    • What does Cameroonian coffee taste like?

      The coffee found in Cameroon is known for its full body and nutty flavours. Its arabica beans will offer much more sweetness compared to the more bitter robusta varietals. Higher quality Cameroonian coffee will offer a cup of medium to low acidity, and providing earthy, nutty, and subtle fruity notes.
