Director of Internal Trade, Who ended her speech by declaring on behalf of the Minister of Trade open, the Preparatory Works of NICAMEX 2023 The Ministry of Trade, she underlined, has in its roadmap, research of all the internal and external opportunities relating to the development of a framework of formal exchanges of quality, in favor of the national territory. This is why all initiatives in the direction of NICAMEX are encouraged and supported. The government sees them in a good light because they offer broad categories of economic actors, craftsmen and other figures, to structure themselves by putting themselves in evaluation, and in confrontation with others, on other scales, with other standards and practices. The Ministry of Commerce will therefore offer its expertise to mobilize all the engineering necessary for the holding and success of NICAMEX, as much as it undertakes to list the sectors which would be most likely to benefit from an increase in flows with Nigeria. Extensive data is already available for the agricultural sector. once we look closely at the statistics of the Far North regions for example, North, Adamaoua, North West and South West; in other words, those that are located on the border and therefore trade the most with Nigeria. As a whole, Cameroon has almost 400,000 enterprises of all sizes, of which only about 300 are considered “large”, some 4,000 are medium and all the rest are small or very small, generally informal. There is therefore an issue of scaling up and business know-how, on the part of all these players, whoever they are. Because to sell across borders is clearly to pre-empt higher skill levels which, in many respects at the moment, are lacking in our economy.
