Palm Oil Landscapes in DR Congo
In This Section. Palm Oil Landscapes in DR Congo. May 22, 2024 by Michele Tenzon, recipient of SAH's H. Allen Brooks Travelling Fellowship. Brussels. The Western world wages a battle against palm oil, and supermarket shelves are flooded with 'palm oil-free' labels. But for much of the Global South, palm oil is everywhere.
Key messagesThe Congo Basin is rich in biodiversity and stores an estimated 25%–30% of the world’s tropical forest carbon stocks. As agricultural land becomes increasingly scarce in Southeast Asia, and regulatory pressures continue to intensify, the Congo Basin could become the next frontier for oil palm expansion. Most of the roughly 280 million hectares (Mha) of additional land suitable
Congo: The Next Frontier for the Palm Oil Industry | IntechOpen
The oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) originated in West and Central Africa. Some of the earliest scientific breakthroughs that led to the development of the palm oil industry were made in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC, earlier known as the Belgian Congo); these include the elucidation of the genetics of the kernel shell thickness and the identification of the basic engineering
Africa’s contribution to global palm oil supplies declined from 77 percent in 1961 to less than 4 percent in 2014, as the crop boomed in Malaysia and Indonesia. But many of the Congo Basin’s most forested countries are dreaming big. Cameroon aims to double palm oil production by 2035, and Gabon has ambitions of becoming a leading exporter.
Palm oil: Processing, characterization and utilization in the
Palm oil is widely used as frying oil because of its high smoke point (230 °C) and a stronger resistance to thermoxidation than most other vegetable oils. Blending palm oil with more unsaturated or monounsaturated oils is an option adopted to improve and enhance the commercial, functional, nutritional and technical attributes of the oil.
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.

the Congo Basin, with oil palm concessions accounting for the largest investment areas (Feintrenie 2014). Because the African palm oil sector is still in the early stages of development, there is a unique opportunity to heed the environmental repercussions of rapid expansion in Southeast Asia as motivation to advance

It is imperative that Congo Basin governments recognize and protect community rights to land as large-scale palm oil investments increase.

Brabanta. In 2007, the Socfin Group reinvested in the Democratic Republic of Congo and acquired the Brabanta plantation. On this old abandoned plantation, Socfin replanted 6 200 hectares with the latest generation of oil palms. The site of the Mapangu plantations, created by Sir William LEVER (Unilever) in 1911, is one of the oldest in the world.
