It also has maize plantations set up by Maiscam around Ngaoundere, which stand out as a miniature Corn Belt as it is in the USA. This province spans over 64 792 sq kilometers and has a population of over 600 000 inhabitants; making it have a very low population density of about 9 inhabitants per sq kilometer. A greater part of the local population lives in towns like Meiganga, Tignere and Banyo. This province is a passage for travelers especially those using the Trans Cameroon railway line. This is has also helped to boast trade in this area between other northern provinces and neighboring countries like Chad, Nigeria and Central African Republic.
