Edéa is a city located along the Sanaga River in Cameroon's Littoral Province. It lies on the Douala–Yaoundé railway line. Its population was estimated at 122,300 in 2001. There are bauxite facilities, aluminium processing facility, steel processing facility, timber facilities, paper facilities and some water power stations in the city. Bananas, oil palm, and cacao are farmed nearby.
Transport
The city is served by the Cameroon Railway, which crosses the Sanaga River at this point.
In September, 2007, a branch railway to the port of Kribi was proposed, on account of its deeper water than Douala.[2]
