FAQ

  • QWhat is oil palm production in Cameroon?
    AToday 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.
  • QDoes clearing forest increase palm oil production in southwest Cameroon?
    AWe 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.
  • QWhat oils can be processed?
    AAll kinds of seed crude oil. For example common oils: soybean, peanut, sunflower, rapeseed, palm fruit, coconut, rice bran, corn germ, cottonseed, etc.
  • QWhat is the average biomass of oil palm in South Cameroon?
    AThe average aboveground biomass of oil palm in South Cameroon ranges from 209–300 Mg C ha?1 11, 50, 51. Oil palm expansion across Southwest Cameroon was mapped from 2000–2015, a period of national growth in production and area expansion of the crop (Fig. 1 ).
  • QDoes deforestation cause palm oil production in southwest Cameroon?
    ADeforestation in Southwest Cameroon for palm oil production is often attributed to large-scale, agro-industrial expansion. However, Ordway et al. reveal that much recent expansion can be attributed to non-industrial producers establishing near informal, non-industrial palm oil mills. Here,
  • QHow many palm oil mills are there in Cameroon?
    AThere 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).
  • QWhat are Luc dynamics for oil palm cultivation in Cameroon?
    ALUC dynamics reported by the six mills for oil palm cultivation involved conversion from undisturbed forest, disturbed forest, tree crops like cocoa and sometimes, replanting of old oil palm stands. Studies have shown twice as much oil palm expansion into forests compared to other land use classes in Cameroon (Ordway et al., 2019).
