Coffee farming in Cameroon dates to the 1880s, during the German colonial era, when coffee producers began to cultivate the Jamaican Arabica crops.
Later on, they imported Robusta crops from Congo, almost completely supplanting arabica cultivations, which still represent only one-third of total coffee production in Cameroon. In this country, coffee production is held by some smallholder farmers, who own plantations ranging from 2 to 10 hectares, giving rise to extraordinary special blends.
The area near Yaoundè, the capital city, offers the best conditions for coffee cultivation. The main varieties are natural robusta and washed arabica; the latter one stands out for its excellent aroma and spicy taste.
After periods of ups and downs, many farmers decided to abandon coffee cultivation because of a sharp fall in prices. Subsequently, it has been launched a recovery plan to support production, improving the productivity of plantations, introducing new crops, and introducing more advanced machinery.
Today in Cameroon you can find some excellent coffees, such as the one obtained from Coffea charrieriana. It’s a very peculiar variety which produces decaf.
