Cameroon
Limestone Mining in Cameroon. Over four million tons of limestone is mined and produced in Cameroon every year. Prices have not increased in recent years, however, because of the stagnation of the price of cement. Local producers believe the reason behind this to be the price of clinker, which is an imported raw material made from limestone.
