  • Description: Agricultural cooperation between China and Cameroon is a capital-generating avenue where each partner develops winning strategies to make the best of the opportunities present in this field. This perception has fueled controversial debates about the potential of Chinese agricultural investments in Africa, thereby questioning their ability to boost agricultural development in Africa. This article aims to investigate the impact of agricultural cooperation between China and Cameroon, in particular, on transferring agricultural technologies to the local population. Based on in-depth fieldwork, qualitative data was collected in the locality of Nanga-Eboko and Yabassi in Cameroon. 22 interviews involving several categories of actors were carried out. The results revealed that China's investments in the agricultural sector in Cameroon contribute relatively to the transfer of agricultural technologies to the local population. However, Chinese interventions are subject to strong criticism specifically tied to the massive acquisition of agricultural land by China in Cameroon and the non-involvement of local populations in the development and implementation of projects. Hence, there is a need to rethink this relationship by placing the local population at the centre of action strategies.
