What is oil palm production in Cameroon?

Today oil palm cultivation and processing in Cameroon is carried out across a range of scales of production. Hereafter, we refer to mills owned and operated by agro-industrial companies as industrial mills. All other mills, referred to as non-industrial mills, vary widely in terms of design and operation.

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.

Is there a potential oil palm yield gap in Cameroon?

In Cameroon, we found that on-farm oil palm yields averaged 5¨C7 tons FFBs ha ?1 throughout the study area and across producer groups, well below the 20 tons FFBs ha ?1 potential yield for the country ( Nkongho et al., 2015 ). The large yield gap points to a major opportunity to increase production on existing oil palm fields.

Could new oil palm plantations be established in Cameroon?

Up to 20 million hectares of new oil palm plantations could be established in this region over the next decade. In Cameroon¡¯s forested zone alone, over 1 million hectares is now being targeted by oil palm companies. This cultivation would generate much-needed development in Africa and increase global food supplies.
