  • Which West African countries produce palm oil?
  • Cameroon: Cameroon is another West African country that has been producing palm oil for decades. It is the 12th-largest producer in the world, with an output of 465,000 metric tons. Ghana: Ghana's palm oil industry is still relatively small, with a production of 300,000 metric tons.
  • Why is sub-Saharan Africa important for palm oil production?
  • Sub-Saharan Africa is increasingly viewed as an important area for the cultivation and expansion of both large and small-scale palm oil production, partly due to its relative availability of land and government interest in promoting economic development through palm oil trade (Semroc et al., 2015 ).
  • How is oil palm produced?
  • Oil palm is grown in large-scale monoculture plantations or as a smallholder crop, with fruit bunches as the primary output and crude palm oil (CPO) and palm kernel oil (PKO) as the final products. Productivity is best measured as oil yield (t ha ?1 ), calculated from the yield of fruit bunches (t ha ?1) and the extraction rate (%).
  • What is the palm oil industry like in Ghana?
  • Ghana: Ghana's palm oil industry is still relatively small, with a production of 300,000 metric tons. However, the government has identified it as a priority sector for development, and investments are being made to expand the industry.
