FAQ

  • QCan Cameroon develop a sustainable palm oil industry?
    AWe are working to demonstrate that Cameroon, one of the most biodiverse countries in Africa and a new frontier for oil palm expansion, can develop a sustainable palm oil industry, avoiding negative environmental impacts.
  • QHow much palm oil is produced in Cameroon?
    AIn Cameroon, palm oil is produced across three plantation types or scales: approximately 120,000 tons come from agro-industrial plantations (58,860 ha), 30,000 tons from supervised smallholder plantations (35,000 ha), and an estimated 80,000 tons from independent smallholdings (100,000 ha).
  • Qhow can we guarantee quality?
    AAlways a pre-production sample before mass production; Always final Inspection before shipment.
  • QCould new oil palm plantations be established in Cameroon?
    AUp to 20 million hectares of new oil palm plantations could be established in this region over the next decade. In Cameroon’s forested zone alone, over 1 million hectares is now being targeted by oil palm companies. This cultivation would generate much-needed development in Africa and increase global food supplies.
  • QDoes non-industrial oil palm development affect primary forests in Cameroon?
    ASimilarly, Ndjogui et al. (2016) found that 71% of smallholder oil palm plantations in Cameroon expanded into secondary forests, and 5% into intact forests. These findings suggest that non-industrial oil palm developments have a lesser impact on primary forests.
  • 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.
  • QIs there a potential oil palm yield gap in Cameroon?
    AIn Cameroon, we found that on-farm oil palm yields averaged 5–7 tons FFBs ha ?1 throughout the study area and across producer groups, well below the 20 tons FFBs ha ?1 potential yield for the country ( Nkongho et al., 2015 ). The large yield gap points to a major opportunity to increase production on existing oil palm fields.
