National demand for sawnwood in Cameroon
The economic and social importance of domestic wood consumption is now recognized in Central Africa, but it is largely fuelled by informal timber. No one has yet developed a global understanding of these sectors in order to develop the conditions for improving the legality of such trade and practices. The objective of this report is to review the different types of demand and supply of wood products on the Cameroonian domestic market (Yaoundé and Douala) in order to identify the possibilities of promoting consumption of sawnwood and furniture of legal origin, which would enhance the sustainable management of wood resources and sustainable economic growth in the long term.
