dc.description.abstractThis paper examines the influence of Calabar on the nature, volume and direction of palm oil and kernel trade in the Cross and Manyu Rivers region of Cameroon between the early 1800s and 1961 when Southern Cameroons gained independence through reunification with the Republic of Cameroon. The town of Calabar was an important trading post and an entrepot for European commercial interests prior to and after European colonisation of the area. Her trading influence extended into the interior of the Cross River region of Cameroon and Nigeria. This trading influence led to competition between Calabar and Nkongsambain French Cameroon. This paper relies on a content analysis of archival material and the re-interpretation of some secondary works to examine the influence of Calabar on the palm produce trade within Cameroon's sphere of the Cross River region.en_US
