Schematic map — relative positions, not to scale.

Njansang, moabi, andok: these forest-gathered products feed a well-established local cuisine and pharmacopoeia, but remain sold raw, with no industrial processing.

Key challenges in Cameroon
  • Seasonal, scattered collection, hard to organise into regular volumes.
  • Shelling and oil extraction remain artisanal.
  • Low confidence in the referential for this value chain: production areas to be confirmed on the ground.
Opportunities
  • Semi-industrialised shelling and oil extraction.
  • Packaging of finished products (ground njansang, refined oil) for urban markets and export.
  • Structuring collection into groups to secure volumes.
Forest collection

An abundant but scattered resource, to be organised into a value chain.

  • Seasonal collection by riverside communities.
  • Groups to pool volumes.
Agrovita's role

Agrovita structures shelling and oil extraction.

  • Engineering of shelling and crushing units.
  • Packaging of finished products for urban markets and export.
Processing grid

From raw material to the circular economy (N1 → N4)

Note NS-20260829/DG/XPN-REF1: four processing levels, from raw packaged product (N1) to recovered by-products and waste (N4), with the destination industrial sector(s).

N1First-stage processing

Dried, sorted, bagged wild seeds/fruits.

IA
N2Second-stage processing

Shelled kernels; crude moabi/andok oil.

IAICH
N3Third-stage processing

Packed ground njansang; packed refined oil.

IAICH
N4Fourth-stage processing

Shells and cake (biomass, animal feed).

What this value chain brings to market

The product type describes what leaves the farm or the unit, in its state of sale — it is what triggers processing, cold-chain, compliance and certification services.

TP01Raw material

Market, post-harvest, logistics.

TP02Sorted, graded and packed product

Cold chain, storage, corridor, product compliance.

TP03First-stage processed product

Unit sizing, energy, food safety management.

TP04Branded finished product

Full unit, HACCP, labelling, brand.
