This book investigates the structure and efficiency of cassava marketing in Cameroon, focusing on three regions: Centre, Littoral, and West. Data were collected from 326 cassava traders across 15 markets. The analysis used descriptive statistics, the Gini coefficient, and the Lorenz curve to assess market concentration and marketing efficiency. The study recommends organizing cassava retailers into cooperatives to improve market efficiency, enabling them to access credit from agricultural and commercial banks, which could enhance their performance. The findings offer insights that may inform government agricultural market policies.
