GIS, mapping & remote-sensing firms
You map farming areas, structure geographic information and turn satellite imagery into insight for value chains.
Definition in the architecture : Mapping, geographic information systems and satellite imagery of farmland
What you do
- Produce thematic maps of production basins and livestock areas
- Design and administer geographic information systems for value chains
- Analyse satellite imagery to monitor vegetation cover and land use
- Georeference plots and build plot-level databases
- Set up map-based monitoring systems for projects and crops
You turn surveyors’ measurements, field data and satellite images into usable maps and databases. You deliver these products to cooperatives, exporters, land developers, engineering firms and public bodies that plan, trace and monitor. You secure knowledge of the cultivated territory and you unlock compliance for exporting chains, sound planning of agropoles and remote monitoring of crops, all along the Produce – Process – Export chain.
Where are you found?These firms are mostly based in Yaoundé and Douala, close to public administrations, engineering consultancies and exporters’ head offices. A few operate from Buea, Bafoussam or Bertoua. Their work covers the whole country, with strong demand in the forest zone of the South and East and in the Western Highlands.
Why your business matters in Cameroon and Central Africa
Cameroonian value chains must now prove the geographic origin of their products and the absence of deforestation, especially for cocoa, coffee, rubber and palm oil covered by the EUDR. GIS and remote-sensing firms provide the polygons, maps and analyses that make this proof possible. They also help decision-makers locate high-potential areas, prevent conflicts between farming, herding and forest, and plan rural infrastructure. In Central Africa, where geographic data remain scarce, these firms are a strategic link in sovereignty over agricultural territories and in the credibility of export claims.
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.
- Supplying exporters with the plot polygons required by traceability regimes
- Cooperating with surveyors, software providers and certification bodies on shared data
- Making map products affordable and usable for cooperatives and local authorities
- Keeping data up to date as land use changes rapidly across production basins
What the directory brings to your organisation
Your listing makes you visible to exporters, cooperatives and land developers seeking reliable mapping expertise.
You gain access to traceability projects, development studies and environmental monitoring programmes that recruit GIS providers.
You position yourself as the supplier of the geographic data Central African value chains need to produce and export in full compliance.
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.
Start my registration - Verification by XP-NOVA
The XP-NOVA team reviews your profile: consistency of the position in the architecture, reality of the declared activity, completeness of the information. If there is a reservation, the reason is sent to you and you can complete.
- Validation and publication
Once validated, your profile is published in the directory available to members, under your actor code. You update it from your area: contact details, logo, capacities, description.

Surveyors, GIS firms, land advisers, developers: land-tenure security is the first condition of a project’s bankability.
- Scarce titles, customary rights and conflicting uses.
- Cost of demarcation and procedures.
- Outdated mapping and cadastre.
- Land diagnostics built into project framing (need BE08).
- Plot geolocation required by the EUDR, anticipated in the files.
- Access to project holders whose project is settled and financed.
