Abstract

The aim of this research paper is to find the factors that influence the development of palm oil clusters in Cameroon using a survey made among 296 individuals. From the regression model, we find that palm oil production, agribusiness schools, market development, palm wine production and clusters development by area have a negative and significant impact on palm oil clusters development in Cameroon, implying that the government and financial institutions have to do more in order to have the palm oil clusters well developed in Cameroon.
