Sustainable development of the palm oil sector in the Congo Basin
the Congo Basin’s palm oil sector In both the Congo Basin and Southeast Asia, smallholders are an engine of growth in the palm oil sector. In the Congo Basin, however, oil palm production and supply chains differ from Southeast Asia in two key ways: Non-industrial actors process the oil independent of companies and consumers are mostly local.
Palm oil is used throughout central and west Africa for cooking and it is also an important ingredient in the global processed foods and beauty products industries. Djombo says it is not necessary for extensive market research to gauge the potential for the local production of palm oil: Congo’s official customs data shows the large volumes of oil currently brought in from as far afield as
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
The transformation of the global palm oil cluster: dynamics of cluster
Footnote 38 Two types of oil can be extracted from the fruit of the oil palm tree: palm oil from the pulp, which has similar uses to soybean and rapeseed oil, and palm-kernel oil from the kernel, which is a substitute for coconut oil. Footnote 39 The tapping of semi-wild oil palm groves was an integral part of the Belt’s economy and society.
Recommendations to improve the sustainability of the palm oil sector in the Congo Basin include (1) improving access to finance for smallholders and non-industrial mill managers; (2) implementing policies to safeguard natural resources and facilitate access to appropriate market opportunities that offer incentives to prevent future
The Congo Basin: palm oil’s next frontier, CIFOR Forests News
Tuesday, 9 Jul 2019. Palm oil’s legacy in Southeast Asia is visible from space. The region accounts for 87 percent of global production. Borneo, who has now less than half of its rainforests remaining, hosts nearly half the world’s 18 million hectares of the crop alone. Between 2000 and 2017, the loss of 14 percent of the island’s old
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
Brabanta, Socfin
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.
It is imperative that Congo Basin governments recognize and protect community rights to land as large-scale palm oil investments increase.
