Situated 60 km from Ngaound6r6 on the old route, its supply of Ngaoundere was based on two practises: urban wholesalers and semi-wholesalers came to the weekly market (Wednesday), while motorists and travellers made day-to-day purchases as they passed through the village. Roadside stalls had sprung up along the road through the village, bringing local residents additional daily income. Traffic on the unpaved Tchollire-Touboro regional road, which used to carry 80% of foodstuffs from Touboro, has fallen by over 70% in favour of the new, paved road (Touboro-Ngaoundere), making Ngaoundere a major redistribution hub between North and South Cameroon.
