- Will oil palm production increase in the Congo Basin?
- 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. Without intervention, future production increases in the region will likely come from expansion rather than intensification due to low crop and processing yields, possibly at the expense of forest.
- Where can oil palm be grown in the Congo Basin?
- Most of the roughly 280 million hectares (Mha) of additional land suitable for oil palm in the Congo Basin are found in the Democratic Republic of Congo (60%), Cameroon (11%) and the Republic of Congo (10%). 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.
- Which country produces the most palm oil?
- Plantations et Huileries du Congo - PHC is the largest producer of palm oil in the Democratic Republic of Congo. of the Congo. All PHC production is sold locally for Congolese consumption. Founded in the 1930s, Yaligimba is PHC's youngest plantation. Located about 60km from Bumba, Yaligimba contains about 8.000 hectares of planted oil palms.
- How much palm oil did Congo produce in 1961?
- While Congo produced 224,000 tons of palm oil in 1961, Malaysia and Indonesia produced 94,846 tons and 145,700 tons respectively. Sixty years later, Congo’s production was stagnating at 300,000 tons, while Malaysia’s and Indonesia’s production had exponentially grown to 19.1 million tons and 44.8 million tons respectively.
- Can palm oil mills reduce deforestation in the Congo Basin?
- Sustainability strategies initiated by companies and aimed at certifying palm oil mills are unlikely to be effective at curbing deforestation in the Congo Basin. Smallholder farmers are an engine of growth in the regions palm oil sector, and recent evidence suggests they are actively clearing forest to expand.
