The production of palm oil has resulted in devastating environmental damage and human rights abuses, despite providing income to rural communities in poorer nations. Indonesia is the largest producer of palm oil, followed by Malaysia and Thailand, with several other African and South American countries also producing significant amounts.
20 million hectares of new oil palm plantations could be established in west and central Africa over the next decade. We're together with the Cameroon government and industry to promote sustainable palm oil and protect biodiversity.
Palm oil and land grabbing in Cameroon, an open letter to
The future of sustainable palm oil production, if ever possible, depends on balancing economic interests with social and environmental responsibility. By addressing these challenges head-on, Socapalm and the Socfin Group must set a precedent for ethical and sustainable agro-industrial practices in Africa and beyond.
This study examined the relationship between oil palm production, and food security and diets in Cameroon and Indonesia, two oil palm production hotspots with different backgrounds in oil palm history, and cultivation, processing and marketing systems.
On the road to sustainable palm oil production in Cameroon
Although Cameroon, the largest palm oil producer in Central Africa, produced more than 450,000 tons in 2020, it still imports about 60,000 tons a year to meet its 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 jeopardizing sustainably.
According to Business Cameroon, SORAC, which is controlled by businessman Nassourou Alhadji Issa aims to market 100,000 tons of refined oil yearly. According to actors in the palm oil industry, in the first half of 2023 alone, refiners imported around 150,000 tons of palm oil, equivalent to the total volume imported in 2022.
Impacts of palm oil trade on ecosystem services: Cameroon as
These responses are based on information from Asia and South America since little has been done in Africa. This study fills these gaps by synthesizing the impacts of PO trade on ES from peer-reviewed and gray literature. Our case study is Cameroon, which harbors part of the Congo basin forest and experiences fast deforestation rates.
In the Government of Cameroon’s legitimate desire to expand the production of oil palm, they need to develop a best practice guide for new oil palm plantations, as well asidentifying the most suitable areas for development through the national land-use planning processes.
Cameroon Welcomes Innovative Palm Oil Refineries Amid Raw
A Flourishing Industry: The Rise of New Players With the unveiling of four pioneering palm oil refineries, Cameroon’s oil sector emerges as a dynamic hub of innovation and progress. Among the new entrants are Société de raffinage du Cameroun (SORAC) and Nouvelle Raffinerie du Cameroun—names that signal a new era of collaboration and growth.
Oil palm production expanded 1.2 million hectares in sub-Saharan Africa since 1990, with expansion accelerating in several heavily forested countries since 2000. Despite a narrative of expansion driven by multinational corporations, we provide evidence of a dynamic non-industrial oil palm production sector linked to a burgeoning informal milling enterprise. Surveys were conducted with oil palm
