According to Emmanuel Ngom, an expert at MINADER, the 70,000 ha of industrial plantations produce about 180,000 tons of palm oil, while the 100,000 ha of village plantations produce only about 90,000 tons. Furthermore, the extraction rate of palm oil from fresh nuts is 21% in local industrial mills and 14% in artisanal mills.

4.1 Mechanical extraction. Pounding (digestion) and oil extraction are the most tedious and essential operations in traditional palm fruit processing; therefore early efforts concentrated on these tasks. In small-scale processing, digestion, the breaking up of the oil-bearing cells of the palm fruit’s mesocarp, is the most labour intensive.

0,000 tons annually (MINADER, pers. com). Oil palm production in Cameroon increased following the drop in the prices of cocoa and cofee in the early 1990s, which at that time were the majo. commercial farming crops in the country. This caused many smallholders in the ecologically suitable areas to switch.
Oil palm expansion in Cameroon: Insights into sustainability opportunities and challenges in Africa/h2>
In Cameroon, palm oil contributes to nearly 80% of edible oil demand, 30% of which is estimated to come from non-industrial mills (Frank et al., 2011). Red palm oil, the most widely consumed form, results from partially refined crude palm oil and is high in Vitamin E and alpha- and beta-carotene ( Nagendran et al., 2000 ).

- What is screw press operation in palm oil mill?
- Screw press operation is one of the most important processes in palm oil mill. It is responsible for extracting oil from digested mesocarp with consideration of the following objectives, minimum oil loss in pressed fibre and minimum nut breakage at the designated press throughput.
- How a palm oil mill works?
- In conventional palm oil mill, the fruits, so called (MPD) mass passing to digester are digested at 90oC for about 20 min. For a 15 t throughput press, typical volume of the digester is about 3500 litres. During digestion, the oil-bearing cells are ruptured and this will facilitate oil extraction during pressing and clarification.
- What is a screw press?
- 1. Introduction In the processing of crude palm oil, a screw press is the primary equipment for separating the oil palm fruit components, i.e. oil and solids.
- Why do palm oil mills fail?
- Irregular maintenance and poor handling is the primary cause for machine failure. Research questionnaires were disseminated to active palm oil mills across Malaysia to acquire information on (i) the mill operation, and (ii) any malfunction issues concerning the screw press system. A total of 105 mills responded to the survey (response rate = 25%).
