This study aims to help Cameroonian farmers choose the best maize seeds to improve their yields. To achieve this, we evaluated 15 varieties based on five essential criteria: cycle length, yield per hectare, cob quality, stem height, and grain weight. Using the ELECTRE I and ELECTRE IS multi-criteria decision-making methods, we selected four particularly high-performing varieties: CLH103, CMS8602, CMS9015, and CMS 8501. These seeds offer a good balance between productivity and adaptation to local conditions, with potential yields of up to 10 tons per hectare. In-depth analyses have confirmed the reliability of these results, assuring farmers of a robust and effective choice. These recommendations can help improve food security and the profitability of farms in Cameroon
