Mouila
Gabon
Mouila, town, southwestern Gabon. It lies along the Ngounié River and on the road from Lambaréné to Pointe-Noire. The town is a trading centre in cassava, bananas, yams, groundnuts (peanuts), and corn (maize). Coffee and palm oil are important exports, and there is a cooperative palm-oil mill at Moabi, 35 miles (56 km) southwest. Diamonds are found at nearby Makongonio and gold at Ekété, but production of both is small. Mouila has a Roman Catholic church and teachers’ college, a Protestant church, a hospital, and a government secondary school. Pop. (1993) 16,307.
