In the field of technological development and industrial property, we will (...) continue the process aimed at protecting Cameroon's red cocoa by registering it as a protected geographical indication. We will also launch the process aimed at protecting Regalia, also called "Toghu" in the north-west, the green mango from the east called "Ndôô" (which is prized for its special flavor), and the highly prized Pineapple of Bafia," the action plan reads.
The said products are specific to Cameroon. The brick-red color of Cameroonian cocoa is sought after by chocolate producers. The geographical indication process for the said cocoa started on July 17, 2019, in Yaoundé with the African Organization of Intellectual Property (Oapi).
