Makary, the capital of Mbanco Province in Cameroon's Southwest Region, is located on the fringe of the country's southwestern tropical rainforest, adjacent to the Nigerian border, and is one of the key land routes connecting Cameroon with neighboring countries. With agriculture as its leading industry, the city is rich in cocoa, coffee, palm oil and other cash crops, and the local market is active and is the distribution center for agricultural products in the region. Makari has a multicultural atmosphere, with a predominantly Bamirek population, and is unique in its traditional handicrafts and bazaars. Despite its relatively simple infrastructure, its unique geographic location and agricultural resources make it an important player in the economy of southwestern Cameroon, and one of the gateways for exploring the local tribal culture and natural ecology.
