  • Will four palm oil refiners join Cameroon edible oil industry?
  • CAMEROON – Four palm oil refiners are set to join the Cameroon edible oil industry marking a significant step forward in harnessing local resources for agricultural growth, according to the Oilseeds Refiners Association (ASROC).
  • Can RSPO palmghg be used in Cameroon?
  • The RSPO PalmGHG tool can be modified to suit specifics of different countries around the world, which creates an opportunity to test it in Cameroon. Cameroon is one of Africa's top palm oil producers producing about 269,000 tons of palm oil in 2018 with an average growth rate of 3.5 % per year in the last decade (FAO, 2019).
  • Where does Cameroon's palm oil come from?
  • Most of the imported palm oil comes from Indonesia, Malaysia and Gabon. For several years, Cameroon has been faced with a dilemma: boosting productivity without jeopardizing sustainably.
  • 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).
  • What are Luc dynamics for oil palm cultivation in Cameroon?
  • LUC 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).
  • Will new agro-industrial cooperations increase emissions from palm oil production?
  • There is a great chance that new agro-industrial cooperations looking to establish oil palm plantations and individual farmers trying to expand will do so in undisturbed or disturbed forests with high carbon stocks. Such land conversion practice will increase emissions from palm oil production.
