<li>Sandy clay or ferritic soils</li>

<li>Sandy loam soils,</li>

<li>Alluvial deposits</li>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><br>Ferallitic soils are predominantly found around the mountainous parts of the sub-region where<br>bases are migrated out of the soil by rainfall and other weathering processes, leaving behind a<br>high concentration of sesquioxides.<br>Alluvial soils in the area are formed as a result of the sweeping of materials from highland and<br>their subsequent deposition in plains and valleys such as the Mbaw plain. Due to their rich<br>nature, these soils have great agricultural potential, permitting the cultivation of low-altitude<br>crops like oil palms and rice</p>
