- The growing health consciousness among the country's population, changing lifestyles and preferences, rising disposable incomes, and growing awareness regarding the health benefits associated with fruits, including bananas, mangoes, dates, etc., are driving the market's growth.

The harsh and extremely cold climatic conditions may prevent production, restraining the market's growth.

Cassava was the most produced crop in Cameroon, with a production of 4.9 million metric ton in 2021, followed by plantains, with 4.8 million metric ton.
