Key Takeaways
In Cameroon, agriculture’s GDP share started at 24% in 1990, stabilizing between 16-19% from the 2000s onward. The sector's early reduction reflects gradual industrial growth and a focus on oil production, which emerged as a primary economic driver. By 2005, agriculture’s share hovered around 16%, reflecting Cameroon’s move toward a diversified economy.

Recent stability around 17% underscores agriculture's importance in Cameroon's rural employment and export markets.
