Port passage control and company performance

International trade is tending towards globalisation, which means that the cross-border movement of goods and factors of production between several countries in the world is becoming increasingly free, and this is seen as a source of prosperity for nations. This phenomenon is reflected in the import and export aspect, which can be a real vector for development. International trade is growing and expanding by the day. Millions of products are transported, ordered and sold by air, sea and land from production sites to consumer markets. As far as Cameroon is concerned, the development of world trade has brought some relief to its economy, particularly in terms of timber exports, which have contributed an estimated 271 billion F. However, for some time now, the industry has been experiencing difficulties due to congestion at the port of Douala. Timber is stored for months at a time, slowing down the activities of companies operating in the sector and preventing them from making good business.
