Africa Global Logistics Cameroon (AGL Cameroon) and REasy have launched a new logistics and digital payments partnership aimed at making it easier for small businesses in Cameroon to import goods from China.
The new trade corridor officially began operations on April 29, 2026, with the arrival of the first consolidated container under the partnership. The project is designed to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and local merchants overcome common import challenges such as high shipping costs, payment difficulties and limited logistics support.
At the centre of the initiative is a groupage shipping model, also known as Less than Container Load (LCL). This allows businesses to import smaller quantities of goods without paying for a full shipping container, making international trade more affordable for smaller companies.
The service combines four main features: secure digital payments, cargo consolidation in China, real-time shipment tracking and local logistics support in Cameroon. REasy provides the digital payment infrastructure, which complies with regulations from the Bank of Central African States (BEAC), helping ensure that transactions remain secure and transparent.
According to Thibaut Lamé, the partnership reflects a broader effort to provide integrated logistics solutions tailored to local business needs.
He said combining AGL’s logistics experience with REasy’s digital payment technology would create new growth opportunities for local businesses and help smaller traders participate more easily in international commerce.
The companies described the China-Cameroon corridor as the first phase of a wider plan to improve trade routes across Africa. They aim to expand the model into other strategic trade corridors on the continent in the future.
By addressing both logistics and payment challenges, the partnership hopes to modernise cross-border trade, improve supply chain transparency and strengthen the ability of African SMEs to compete in global markets.
