Sustainable development of the palm oil sector in the Congo
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
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.

Palm oil trade is generating jobs in these low-income countries and contributing to education and health through schools and hospitals as recorded in this study. Palm oil demand is projected to increase substantially in the future (Vijay et al., 2016) with no shortage of markets. In addition, palm oil is the most sustainable commodity in
Three agricultural departments in the Republic of Congo (Plateaux, Pool and Cuvette-Ouest) with high potential for producing palm oil were targeted for this assessment. The Land-use Planner, a tool developed by the European Forest Institute as part of the EU REDD Facility, was used to model and represent the impact of future land-use choices
