Complexities of sustainable palm oil production

  • 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.
  • Are non-industrial producers driving oil palm production in Cameroon?
  • Non-industrial producers are driving oil palm production in Cameroon. We analyze the drivers of oil palm production in Cameroon. Access to information and land tenure systems play a crucial role in farmer decision-making. Market orientation also matters in oil palm production.
  • When did oil palm grow in South Cameroon?
  • Oil palm expansion in Southwest Cameroon was mapped from 2000 to 2015 - a period of national growth in production and area expansion of the crop (Fig. 1 ). To classify oil palm, forest, and other land cover, we used 30 m resolution Landsat satellite data.
  • 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.
