The large shrimp value chain in Cameroon

The Government of Cameroon proposed Cameroon’s large shrimp value chain to the FISH4ACP programme in 2019. The country mainly wants to revive shrimp exports to the European Union, after 18 years of stoppage. Cameroon suspended exports to the European Union in 2004 following evidence of non-compliance with hygiene standards during the handling of fishery products, which was highlighted by the European Union Food and Veterinary Office. The European Union officially suspended imports of fish products from Cameroon in 2009 due to the authorities’ insufficient ability to carry out reliable controls on these products (European Union, 2009). This summary report presents the main results of the functional analysis and the sustainability and resilience assessment that led to the development of a value chain upgrade strategy and implementation plan
