  • The Congo Basin is rich in biodiversity and stores an estimated 25%-30% of the worlds tropical forest carbon stocks. As agricultural land becomes increasingly scarce in Southeast Asia, and regulatory pressures continue to intensify, the Congo Basin could become the next frontier for oil palm expansion.

Many heavily forested countries in the Congo Basin are setting national targets to increase production to meet national and regional demands.
  • How has the Congo Basin impacted oil production?
  • Many heavily forested countries in the Congo Basin are setting national targets to increase production to meet national and regional demands. 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.
  • Are technology-driven intensifications in place in the Congo Basin palm oil sector?
  • Research suggests that technology-driven intensification, are in place (Byerlee et al. 2014). encouraging sustainability in the Congo Basin palm oil sector. development. Success will also rely on active engagement with civil society organizations as well as public and private companies.
