On the road to sustainable palm oil production in Cameroon

Although Cameroon, the largest palm oil producer in Central Africa, produced more than 450,000 tons in 2020, it still imports about 60,000 tons a year to meet its domestic demand. Most of the imported palm oil comes from Indonesia, Malaysia and Gabon.

Palm oil (Elæisguineensis) is a plant native to the countries bordering the Gulf of Guinea. Extracted from the pulp of the fruit, palm oil is rich in fatty saturated acids, and solid at room temperature. As all vegetable oils,palm oil does not contain cholesterol. Palm oil, with an annual global production of 50 million tons, equating to 39%
It is estimated that in Southwest Cameroon, a top producing palm oil region of Africa, 67% of oil palm expansion from 2000-2015 occurred at the expense of forest. In Cameroon, food loss in palm oil is primarily driven by on-farm loss and processing loss i.e. harvest of unripe fresh fruit bunches (equivalent of 1% CPO loss) and extraction
Palm oil: Processing, characterization and utilization in the
The oil palm tree is an ancient tropical plant that originated from West Africa. Palm oil has centuries׳ long use as food and medicine. This review covers the recent significant materials found in the literature on palm oil processing, refining, and use in frying especially in blends with other vegetable oils.
However, they can broadly be categorized into two groups that correspond to capacity and crude palm oil (CPO) extraction rates: mechanized systems and fully manual, hand mills. In Cameroon, palm oil contributes to nearly 80% of edible oil demand, 30% of which is estimated to come from non-industrial mills (Frank et al., 2011).
Environmental Impacts of the Oil Palm Cultivation in Cameroon
Since 1990, oil palm cultivation, because nibbling large zones in dense forest areas of Cameroon, becomes the main driver of deforestation. It leads to the loss of plant and animal biodiversity as well as engaging soils and water pollution, which raises questions about its sustainability. Nowadays, palm plantations occupy almost 400 000 ha shared between agro-industries, elites and small
(Business in Cameroon), The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development recently issued an international call for tenders to select firms that will supply it with three palm oil extraction plants and mini-power plants. According to the call, each of the extraction plants must have a nominal processing capacity of 6 tons per hour.
[PDF] Some quality parameters of crude palm oil from major
Palm oil is the major cooking oil in Cameroon, and crude palm oil (CPO) is an essential ingredient of many local recipes. However, the quality of this foodstuff is subject to doubt, considering the very often inadequate conditions of its extraction and storage in the fast growing small holder sector. In order to assess the quality of (CPO) available to Cameroonian consumers, 40 samples of this
Palm oil (PO) producing countries are expanding oil palm cultivated areas to meet growing demands at the expense of tropical forests and the ecosystem services (ES) they provide. Current responses to the growing call for sustainable PO trade are based on environmental impacts such as deforestation, partly because most social impacts have not been studied. These responses are based on
