  • 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.
  • How many palm oil mills are there in Cameroon?
  • There are currently about 498 palm oil mills in the South West Region (largest palm oil producing region) of Cameroon alone, of which only 5 are fully automated/ industrial mills (Ordway et al., 2019).
  • Does palm oil expansion & deforestation affect Informal mills in South Cameroon?
  • Ordway, EM., Naylor, RL., Nkongho, RN., Lambin, EF. (2019) Oil palm expansion and deforestation in Southwest Cameroon are associated with the Proliferation of informal mills. Nature Communications 10, Article no. 114. Poku, K. (2002) Small-scale palm oil processing in Africa. Vol.48. (FAO, Rome, 2002).
  • 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.
