Crude petroleum exports
Chad's export economy remains one of the most oil-dependent in Central Africa, with mineral fuels alone accounting for the overwhelming majority of shipments to a concentrated group of European and Asian buyers led by Germany, the Netherlands, and China. Limited diversification into oil seeds, gums and resins, and cotton offers a small additional export base. Businesses can find opportunities by targeting buyers seeking reliable crude petroleum supply alongside niche agricultural raw materials from this frontier Sahel origin.
