Analysis
Cameroon recorded 28,000 m3 for wood-based panels — production in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 54.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, wood-based panels — production in Cameroon peaked at 92,000 m3 in 1999 and was at its lowest, 1,000 m3, in 1967.
That places Cameroon 107th out of 248 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
