What you should know: the #UnitedKingdom has signed an Economic Partnership Agreement with #Cameroon. The #tradedeal, which will support #jobs and build future prosperity, was signed by International Trade Minister Ranil Jayawardena and High Commissioner of Cameroon to the #UK, H.E. Albert Fotabong Njoteh in #London. The deal provides certainty for #British and #Cameroonian #businesses, ensuring they can continue to #trade as freely as they do now without any additional barriers or #tariffs.
The #UKCameroon trade was worth around £200m in 2019, and this deal lays a foundation to extend our trading #relationship in the future. The UK market accounts for 12% of total #exports of #bananas from Cameroon and this agreement will maintain tariff-free market access to the UK. It also guarantees continued market access for UK #exporters, who sold £50m in goods to Cameroon in 2019. https://lnkd.in/eaAWE5F
