The non-industrial palm oil sector in Cameroon
of oil palm plantations especially after the collapse of the FONADER-sponsored smallholder scheme that was designed for poor farmers and the advent of the economic crisis in the early 1990 (Elong 2003; Ngambi et al. 2011; Obam and Elong 2011; Obam and Tchonang Goudjou 2011; Levang and Nkongho 2012).

Current expansion of palm oil in Cameroon Due to increased global demand for palm oil and suitable conditions for oil palm development, Cameroon has witnessed a sharp rise in investor enquiries
On the road to sustainable palm oil production in Cameroon
This is the goal of the OPAL (Oil Palm Adaptive Landscape) project, which was started in 2015 to improve the management of oil palm landscape in Cameroon, Colombia and Indonesia that rank among the leading tropical palm oil producing countries. The project is supported by an international consortium comprising ETH Zurich University, the Center
Cameroon is an important location to understand the drivers of oil palm production among non-industrial producers for several reasons. First, oil palm production in Cameroon has an import substitution advantage. Oil palm can be regarded as a strategic crop with the opportunity to leverage the import-export equilibrium.
Oil palm production, income gains, and off-farm employment

This paper presents a case-study analysis of oil palm expansion in Cameroon, with two goals: 1) to identify which actors are engaged in non-industrial oil palm cultivation (i.e., small- and medium-scale plantations less than 1000 ha); and 2) to determine what type of farms are expanding at the expense of forest.
Palm oil in Cameroon – ‘a blessing or a curse’ to small-scale
To understand the current state of small-scale oil palm farming in Cameroon, Nkongho and his colleagues talked to 176 growers, cutting across socio-economic classes, from four centers for palm oil

Genome wide association study reveals key genic regions
Cameroon's oil palm germplasm is contributing a lot towards the improvement of genetic variation in the base oil palm population used in breeding programs around the world.
Oil palm is a native of the central African region, and has been cultivated in Cameroon since times immemorial to produce cooking oil, palm wine, and soap. In 2011, about 100 000 ha of oil palm were grown by small and medium holders and 70 000 ha were owned and exploited by agro-industries. This area is not productive enough to cover the domestic needs for oil, and the country imports about 50
How much palm oil is produced in Cameroon?
Production of palm oil in Cameroon is distributed across three plantation types or scales: ? Agro-industrial plantations (58,860 ha producing 120,000 tons); ? Supervised smallholder plantations (35,000 ha producing 30,000 tons), and ? Independent smallholdings (occupying an estimated 100,000 ha producing approximately 80,000 tons of palm oil4).
What drives oil palm expansion in Cameroon?
Third, oil palm expansion in Cameroon is predominantly driven by non-industrial producers and coordinated around a burgeoning informal milling sector ( Ordway et al., 2019 ). Cameroon can thus be looked upon as a major region of growth when it comes to oil palm production and expansion in Africa.
Does clearing forest increase palm oil production in southwest Cameroon?
We found that 73% of oil palm producers in Southwest Cameroon reported clearing forest to expand cultivation, based on a survey of 546 farms. The magnitude of expansion was explained by differences in palm oil milling strategies and supply chain integration.
What is the approach to sustainable oil palm production in Cameroon?
The approach is based on field surveys carried out in various production basins, particularly in the South-West, Littoral and Central regions. They also take into account the resolutions of various workshops bringing together stakeholders on the matter of sustainability in the oil palm sector in Cameroon.
