Observatories & statistics producers
You produce the sector statistics and value-chain indicators that guide agropastoral policies, programmes and investment decisions.
Definition in the architecture : Production of sector statistics and monitoring of value-chain indicators
What you do
- Design and conduct surveys on production, yields and livestock numbers
- Consolidate value-chain data into indicators comparable over time
- Publish sector yearbooks, reports and dashboards
- Monitor the performance indicators of value chains and development programmes
- Make data available to researchers, businesses and decision-makers
You collect information from farms, cooperatives, processors, decentralised services and export points, then consolidate it into reliable statistical series. You deliver these to the administrations that design policies, the interprofessional bodies that steer their chains, the investors that size their projects and the consulting firms that prepare them. You secure an objective knowledge of the value chains and you unlock public and private decisions built on a common base. Your figures are the ground on which every serious project appraisal stands.
Where are you found?These bodies are headquartered in Yaoundé, where administrations, research institutions and value-chain organisations are concentrated. They rely on branches or correspondents in the regional capitals and on enumerators spread across the production basins, which allows them to cover the whole national territory on a regular basis.
Why your business matters in Cameroon and Central Africa
Without reliable statistics it is impossible to measure food sovereignty, size a factory or evaluate a development programme. Observatories and statistics producers give Cameroon and Central Africa a coherent picture of their production, trade and room for growth. They support the planning of agricultural policies, trade negotiations within CEMAC and the AfCFTA, and the attractiveness of the sector to investors who demand verifiable data. They form the memory of the value chains and the reference point for all actors. Their independence and methodological rigour are what make their figures usable by everyone, from ministries to smallholder cooperatives.
The headings that project promoters, partners and institutions look at first. Fill them in with your real orders of magnitude: this is what makes your profile usable.
- Harmonising methods with other CEMAC countries so data can be compared and aggregated
- Filling the gaps on food crops, livestock and small-scale fisheries
- Opening data to businesses and digital platforms in formats they can actually use
- Engaging cooperatives and interprofessional bodies as data-collection partners

Your listing in three steps
The directory is not a mere listing: each profile is positioned within the architecture (sub-domain, actor, value chain), checked by XP-NOVA, then published. You keep control of your profile after publication.
- The form
You enter your organisation, your position in the architecture — pre-filled from this page —, your value chains, your area of operation and your contact details. Your profile is created as pending and you receive your access.
