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 and deforestation in West Africa, this case study will focus only on challenges relating to food loss and waste. In Cameroon, the total area under the oil palm plantation is 200,000 hectares (ha). In 2019, the crude palm oil production (CPO) was 350,000 MT (Table 1) while the demand is much higher. For 2020, the

In 2011, Malaysia (18.7 M tons) and Indonesia (25.4 M tons) count for 87% of the world’s palm oil production of 50 million tons, with very few other countries producing even one million tons – see figure 1. In Africa the main producers are Nigeria, DRC, Ghana and Ivory Coast. Cameroon currently (2010) produces an estimated 230,000 tons
Cameroon, Africa’s third-biggest palm-oil producer, plans to start using higher-yielding seeds to help raise production by 26 percent over the next three years. The new seeds will be planted over an additional 30,000 hectares (74,141 acres) of land and are expected to boost production to 290,000 metric tons a year, compared with 230,000 tons now.

This is further illustrated by the fact that the purchase of germinated oil palm seeds (chitted nuts) by small- and medium-sized farmers at the Centre for Oil Palm Research at La Dibamba (Cameroon) rose from 20% of the total production in 1996 to an average of 60% during the past 10 years.
Case Study on Reducing Food Loss in Palm Oil in Cameroon
Cameroon is ‘Africa in miniature’ as it is home to 90% of Africa’s ecological systems. A large part of Cameroon is under the Congo basin, which holds over 15% of the world’s remaining tropical forests. In 2019, the crude palm oil (CPO) production in Cameroon was 350,000 MT while the demand is much higher, making Cameroon a net importer of palm oil. To meet the growing demand for palm

Oil palm in Cameroon: risks and opportunities, CIFOR Knowledge
Oil palm is a native of the central African region, and has been cultivated in Cameroon since times immemorial to produce cooking oil, palm wine, and soap. In 2011, about 100 000 ha of oil palm were grown by small and medium holders and 70 000 ha were owned and exploited by agro-industries. This area is not productive enough to cover the domestic needs for oil, and the country imports about 50
