Abstract
This paper aims to assess the effects of agricultural Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) on the sustainable development of agricultural holdings in Cameroon. The data used are secondary data from the World Bank, the WGI, and the INS, namely the Balance of Payment of Cameroon (BP). The study period is from 1977 to 2018. An environmental performance index measures environmental sustainability. In addition, we use the Co-integration model of Engle and Granger for the case of time series as a methodological tool for secondary data. The estimation results of the model show that environmental pollution evolves according to the entry of FDI in the agricultural sector in Cameroon. Thus, the pollution haven hypothesis is verified in Cameroon. Therefore, we propose that the negative impacts of FDI on the sustainable development of agricultural holdings in Cameroon be seriously controlled.
