[ 06 ]$_COUNTRY BRIEF · shortage posture

Cameroon produces modest amounts of oil and gas and exports cocoa, timber and aluminium, but maturing fields and an under-supplied refinery leave it importing refined fuel. A separatist conflict in its anglophone regions and Boko Haram insecurity in the far north pressure its economy and food supply.
