The Development of Agripreneurship in Cameroon

Abstract

This paper gives a roadmap for the development of agripreneurship in Cameroon. Cameroon as a country relies in this sector which occupies almost 75% of the population for sustainable economic development. The choice of agripreneurship is due to its importance in Cameroon’s agricultural potential. Despite being the fifth biggest oil producer in sub-Saharan Africa, the backbone of Cameroon's economy is agriculture. The great majority of Cameroonian farmers are small-holders, generally obtaining low yields from small plots of land using traditional methods: handheld hoes and animals for draught power.
