Bitam, Gabon: a mining and trading town in northeastern Gabon
Bitam is a border town in the north-eastern part of the Gabonese Republic, an important town in the Woleu-Ntem province. Situated on Gabon's borders with Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon, about 450 kilometers from the capital Libreville, it is uniquely situated as an active hub of border trade between the three countries.
Economy and resources
Bitam's economy is based on agriculture, forestry and border trade. The surrounding area is rich in cash crops such as cocoa and coffee, as well as timber resources. Its border town attributes make it an important gateway for Gabon's merchandise flow with neighboring countries. In recent years, with the development of Gabon's mining industry, the region's potential for resource development has also come under scrutiny.
Culture and Transportation
Bitam is a multi-ethnic city, with the Fang as its main inhabitants, and retains a rich traditional culture. The city is connected to other major cities in Gabon by the national highway N2 and has some transportation infrastructure. Despite its small size, the city's role as a border hub gives it a place in the regional economy.
