  • How much oil does a palm plantation produce in Cameroon?
  • Figure 2: Biogeographical regions of Cameroon (Source: IRAD and Cameroon Statistics Directory – 2000.) Under good ecological conditions a well-managed oil palm plantation can produce up to 7.2 tons of crude palm oil (CPO) (and 1.5 ton of palm kernel oil (PKO)) (Caliman, 2011), although the industrial average is closer to 4.0 tons CPO/hectare.
  • How can Cameroon increase palm oil production?
  • The Government of Cameroon’s Rural Sector Development Plan proposes an increase in palm oil production to 300,000 tons in 2015 and 450,000 tons in 2020. This can be achieved primarily through increasing oil production yields, as well as potentially increasing the area under oil palm production and by increasing oil extraction rates.
  • What is palm kernel oil extraction process?
  • PALM KERNEL OIL EXTRACTION Mechanical extraction processes are suitable for both small- and large- capacity operations. The three basic steps in these processes are (a) kernel pre-treatment, (b) screw-pressing, and (c) oil clarification. Diagram 2: Mechanical extraction of palm kernel oil.
  • 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.
  • Is palm kernel extraction a good option for small businesses?
  • However the process is not recommended for small enterprises. Palm kernel extraction is a specialised operation undertaken by a completely different set of processors. They are usually better organized as a group and are not as dispersed as palm oil processors.
  • What is palm oil processing?
  • The kernel processors have to go around the palm oil processors during the peak season, when prices are lowest, to purchase the nuts for drying. The nut processing and oil extraction is undertaken in the dry season when the pressure to obtain raw materials has subsided. The traditional palm oil processing starts with the shelling of the palm nuts.
