  • What is the approach to sustainable oil palm production in Cameroon?
  • The approach is based on field surveys carried out in various production basins, particularly in the South-West, Littoral and Central regions. They also take into account the resolutions of various workshops bringing together stakeholders on the matter of sustainability in the oil palm sector in Cameroon.
  • Why is oil palm expansion a problem in Cameroon?
  • Oil palm expansion in Cameroon has been driven by rising global demand for vegetable oils for consumption and cosmetics. While making a significant contribution to national economies, the expansion of oil palm plantations is a cause for environmental concerns.
  • Where does oil palm grow in Cameroon?
  • Regarding oil palm, it develops preferentially in the coastal area qualified as the “elaeisfarming” belt of Cameroon ( Figure 1 ). Administratively, oil palm plantations and concessions are set up in the maritime facades of the southern, coastal and southwestern regions [ 10, 15, 16 ]. Figure 1.
  • Why is palm oil important in Cameroon?
  • WWF report estimates that palm oil supplies 35% of the world’s vegetable oil on just 10% of the land. In Cameroon, oil palm exploitation is taking a global scale. Since economic crisis of the year 1990s, Cocoa and coffee have already lost ground while the rubber tree is floundering. The palm oil is reassuring, because of its many uses.
