The non-industrial palm oil sector in Cameroon

Sunflower in the global vegetable oil system: situation, specificities

Sunflower production up 47% but falls short of market demand

  • When was the first oil palm planted in Cameroon?
  • Oil palm was first planted commercially in Cameroon in 1907 in some of the earliest oil palm plantations in Africa ( Hoyle and Levang, 2012 ). Six agro-industrial companies (hereafter referred to as industrial producers) currently operate in Cameroon and produce over half of the country’s palm oil.
  • 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.
  • Why is Cameroon an important location for oil palm production?
  • 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.
  • 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.
