Cameroon Welcomes Innovative Palm Oil Refineries Amid Raw
Fueling Progress: Upcoming Palm Oil Refineries Poised to Transform Cameroon’s Oil Industry In a resounding testament to innovation and economic empowerment, Cameroon’s oil sector is on the cusp of a transformative evolution. Four trailblazing palm oil refiners are set to join the ranks of the industry, marking a significant step forward in harnessing local resources […]
With its oil brand "Oleo" and soap brands "Uno" and "Jazz" that are already available in markets and supermarkets across Cameroon, Novia, and the newcomers are expected to boost competition in the oil refinery sector, which is already short of raw materials. This supply shortfall forces operators to import massive quantities of crude palm oil.

However, for many years, Cameroon has been running an annual structural deficit, where processors are faced with raw material shortfall despite the anticipated boost in processing. ASROC says that the shortage peaked at 160,000 tons in 2022, from 130,000 tons in 2020 caused by a faster increase in processing capacity than in crude palm oil
several reasons: firstly, by the fact that oil, which is one of the most popular raw materials in the world, occupies a prominent place in the economy of Cameroon. Secondly, the observation that oil has a central and strategic position in international trade leads world economies to be quite vulnerable to the oil shock.

Electrification rates are relatively high in Cameroon compared to the Central African region: 54% of the population has access to electricity, while consumption remains low. The country produced 70 kb/d of oil in 2013, but production is gradually declini.

Africa’s Commodities Strategy; Value Addition for Global
Africa has about 12% of the world’s oil reserves, 42% of its gold, 80%–90% of chromium and platinum group metals, and 60% of arable land in addition to vast timber resources. Africa experienced a commodity boom during the early 2000s translating into the continent’s unprecedented growth that was only disturbed by the onset of the global
Other resources include iron ore (found at Kribi), uranium, rutile, nickel, and manganese. Petroleum deposits were known to exist in Cameroon as early as the 1950s. Production began in 1977, and since 1980 oil has been the country’s most important export. Although petroleum remains attractive as the main source of foreign-exchange income
