Lekié

Lekié is an administrative area in central Cameroon covering rural landscapes and several towns spread across the region. The land is primarily used for farming, with fields and plantations dedicated to food crops and cocoa production.

The area was established as an administrative division to organize communities in the region. Since its creation, it has grown into an important agricultural and economic center.

The Eton people have shaped daily life here for many generations, and their customs are visible in how communities gather and trade at local markets. Their presence defines the region's social rhythms and family structures.

Travel within the area can be challenging, especially during rainy seasons when roads become difficult to navigate. It is helpful to arrange local guidance and allow extra time for journeys between towns.

Farmers here supply a large share of the fresh produce and food that Yaoundé market depends on for daily supplies. This role as a major food supplier has made the region economically important to the nation's capital.
