  • What are the characteristics of oil palm producers in Cameroon?
  • 3.1. General characteristics of oil palm producers in Cameroon Only 5.4% of farms produced palm oil strictly for personal consumption. Nearly all respondents were engaged in either formal or informal markets, where the latter refers to markets that lack formal contracts and government regulation.
  • How does palm oil supply chain work in Cameroon?
  • Schematic of palm oil supply chain in Cameroon. Oil palm producers use different milling strategies at the processing stage that are linked to their role in the supply chain. Percentages indicate the fraction of survey respondents that follow a given milling path in the supply chain.
  • Is there a potential oil palm yield gap in Cameroon?
  • In Cameroon, we found that on-farm oil palm yields averaged 5–7 tons FFBs ha 1 throughout the study area and across producer groups, well below the 20 tons FFBs ha 1 potential yield for the country ( Nkongho et al., 2015 ). The large yield gap points to a major opportunity to increase production on existing oil palm fields.
  • When was the first oil palm planted in Cameroon?
  • Oil palm was first planted commercially in Cameroon in 1907 in some of the earliest oil palm plantations in Africa ( Hoyle and Levang, 2012 ). Six agro-industrial companies (hereafter referred to as industrial producers) currently operate in Cameroon and produce over half of the country’s palm oil.
