Horticulture and city supply in Africa: evidence from south-west Cameroon

URBAN growth in the West African coastal growth poles provides economies of scale and the urbanization process leads to agricultural transformation, especially in terms of agricultural intensification.

Horticulture benefits from intensification techniques on small areas of land and it provides good revenues for small scale farming systems.
