In the West region of Cameroon, very heavy rains have been recorded over the past thirty days, completely filling the soil reservoirs and covering the needs of the plants.
However, the excessive rainfall in a short period of time has left the region reckoning with damage to infrastructure and several buildings and, in the case of cocoa, with widespread waterlogging.
The latter certainly led to massive fruit wilting and it is likely that, in the worst cases, the trees even lost part of their foliage.
The Cameroonian crop has taken a heavy blow and will not recover in terms of arrivals for the next 3-4 months.
