  • Why is Cameroon an important location for oil palm production?
  • Cameroon is an important location to understand the drivers of oil palm production among non-industrial producers for several reasons. First, oil palm production in Cameroon has an import substitution advantage. Oil palm can be regarded as a strategic crop with the opportunity to leverage the import-export equilibrium.
  • How much palm oil does Cameroon import a year?
  • Although Cameroon, the largest palm oil producer in Central Africa, produced more than 450,000 tons in 2020, it still imports about 130,000 tons a year to meet its domestic demand. Most of the imported palm oil comes from Indonesia, Malaysia and Gabon. For several years, Cameroon has been faced with a dilemma: boosting productivity without…
  • Are non-industrial producers driving oil palm production in Cameroon?
  • Non-industrial producers are driving oil palm production in Cameroon. We analyze the drivers of oil palm production in Cameroon. Access to information and land tenure systems play a crucial role in farmer decision-making. Market orientation also matters in oil palm production.
  • What drives oil palm expansion in Cameroon?
  • Third, oil palm expansion in Cameroon is predominantly driven by non-industrial producers and coordinated around a burgeoning informal milling sector ( Ordway et al., 2019 ). Cameroon can thus be looked upon as a major region of growth when it comes to oil palm production and expansion in Africa.
