Article History

Tiko, town and port located in southwestern Cameroon. It is situated along the Bimbia River at the Gulf of Guinea, 12 miles (19 km) east of Limbe (formerly Victoria).

The port’s activity declined in the face of increasing competition from Douala and Limbe, but it remains significant as a distribution and processing centre for produce grown on plantations to the north. Coffee, cocoa, hardwood, bananas, rubber, aluminum, and palm oil and kernels are exported. The town’s principal industries include a rubber factory, an iron foundry, and light railway engineering. Pop. (2005) 60,796.
