The need for additional information on household demand for meat and fish in Cameroon is addressed. Probit analysis
involving the Heckman selectivity correction procedure is used to estimate the effects of individual and household characteristics
on demand for beef, chicken, pork and fish. Results indicate that fish is a relative necessity in Cameroon and is often
substituted for beef and chicken by households whose profiles include being of low income levels, having large household
sizes, are of middle age and are less educated. Whereas chicken and pork substitute each other, they are each complementary
to beef. The profiles of households likely to purchase beef include being married, middle age, educated and of the Muslim
faith. Profiles for households most likely to increase their purchases of chicken include being of high income levels and are
public sector employed. Some policy implications are provided.
