Cameroon’s coffee industry faces significant challenges, including the ageing population of coffee farmers and limited interest among younger generations, who perceive coffee farming as insufficiently profitable. According to the ONCC, the average age of coffee farmers is between 55 and 60 years, highlighting the sector’s dependence on older producers.
The increasing prominence of a breakfast culture centred around hot drinks, particularly instant coffee paired with bread or other staples, presents a significant opportunity for growth in coffee in Cameroon. The fast-paced lifestyles of urban consumers have further driven demand for convenient coffee options, creating fertile ground for the expansion of the instant coffee sector.
Standard fresh ground coffee is poised to outpace standard instant coffee as the fastest-growing subcategory within Cameroon’s coffee sector. Several factors have contributed to this trend, including the ongoing success of the annual Festicoffee, which has amplified awareness of Cameroonian coffee products.
