?:abstract
  • The economic crises of the years 1980-1990 weakened the power of African states to create decent jobs, fight against poverty and ameliorate the living conditions of the population. Just as other African countries, Cameroon has been hard hit by this crisis as well as the damaging effects of the structural adjustment plan. Currently, Cameroonian towns with the example of Yaoundé are at the centre of socioeconomic innovations, indigenous know how and circular economy. This situation is shown on the spot by the interest given by the populations to the novel initiatives and the creation of income generating activities. Such is the case with the horticulture trade in the towns of Douala and Yaoundé. In effect, the sale of natural flowers is an activity that is increasing in proportion in these two towns of Cameroon. Here, flowers are no longer only vegetation species meant for decoration. They are more than ever sold and give employment to a wide variety of people young and old. In the town of Yaoundé, a flower market has been created at avenue Foch at ABBIA. This study analyses the socioeconomic and spatial implications of this market. A survey, of 38 of the 73 vendors in the flower market of the town of Yaoundé in 2015, shows that the sale of natural flowers is part of the socioeconomic landscape of Yaoundé. Today, it generates enormous income that contributes in the amelioration of the lives of those involved in it. It contributes to significant spatial flux in Yaoundé and the entire Cameroon. But it is important for it to be organised and made popular so that its actors can draw significant income for an emerging Cameroonian economy. (xsd:string)
