Sustainable development of the palm oil sector in the Congo

  • Where does oil palm grow in the Congo Basin?
  • Production increases over the past two decades, however, have been concentrated in the Congo Basin (Figure 1). Of the 278 Mha of additional land suitable for oil palm in the Congo Basin, 60% is found in the Democratic Republic of Congo, 11% in Cameroon and 10% in the Congo (Table 1).
  • Can palm oil mills reduce deforestation in the Congo Basin?
  • Sustainability strategies initiated by companies and aimed at certifying palm oil mills are unlikely to be effective at curbing deforestation in the Congo Basin. Smallholder farmers are an engine of growth in the region’s palm oil sector, and recent evidence suggests they are actively clearing forest to expand.
  • Where is the largest palm plantation in Congo?
  • Located about 120 km from Mbandaka, Boteka contains about 3.700 hectares of planted oil palms. Founded in the 1920s, Lokutu is PHC's largest plantation. Located about 250 km from Kisangani, Lokutu contains about 9.700 hectares of planted oil palms. PHC is the largest palm oil producer in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
  • Will oil palm production increase in the Congo Basin?
  • Land area allocated to oil palm increased by 40% in the Congo Basin and five additional top-producing countries in Africa between 1990 and 2017. Without intervention, future production increases in the region will likely come from expansion rather than intensification due to low crop and processing yields, possibly at the expense of forest.
