Historically, most trade was with European countries, but trading with other markets, particularly Asia, has expanded in the twenty-first century. France remains a key trading partner, albeit with a decreasing significance. Cameroonian goods are heavily consumed in Spain and Portugal, and Nigeria is an important source of import commerce. China is one of the country’s most important trading partners, both for imports and exports. Crude oil, lumber, cocoa, aluminium, cotton, bananas, and coffee are all major exports. Oil palm products, tea, rubber, peanuts (groundnuts), and fresh vegetables are among the others, as are factory products such as textiles, plastics, drinks, and confectionary. Machinery and transportation equipment and spare parts, fertilisers, cereals, petroleum, and food goods are among the most important imports.
