On August 27th and 28th, 2025, Mr.Patrice Melom, the Director-General of the Kribi Port Authority (PAK) led a series of visits that highlighted the rich diversity of investments making the Kribi Port a leading logistics and industrial hub.
« Participating in these visits through my company, Komeyo Trade and Investment, which is actively involved in the zone’s development, was a privillege » argued Mr. Franck Ayinda, a project finance expert.
Furthermore, that company offers direct support to one of the key partners present on site, assisting them throughout their establishment process. This hands-on experience gave a deep, practical understanding of the opportunities and operational realities within the Kribi port area.
The projects visited included major players such as:
· SINOHYDRO/STECOL: Construction of a 225 KV power line.
· KAMLOG MAD: Logistics base and laminated packaging production unit.
· SODIPRACO: Agro-industrial site for processing and agricultural valorization.
· All Bitumen Cameroon PLC (ABC): Bituminous products activities.
· Africa Global Logistics (AGL): Integrated logistics and port services.
· CIMPOR: Industrial operations in the cement sector.
· …and several other technical groups and companies.
Each stop was an opportunity to assess: Work quality,progress levels, respect of contractual deadlines, and compliance with health, safety, and environmental standards.
With its vast 15,000-hectare area, the Kribi Port domain is a major asset for Cameroon’s economic development. These projects are already creating numerous direct and indirect jobs in construction, logistics, agro-industry, energy, and port services.
Through Komeyo Trade and Investment, it is possible to contribute to this dynamic, which is improving local living conditions and strengthening the national economy. This experience on the ground reaffirms their commitment to facilitating impactful investments and supporting partners in navigating Cameroon’s industrial landscape.
