  • How much palm oil is produced in Cameroon?
  • Production of palm oil in Cameroon is distributed across three plantation types or scales: • Agro-industrial plantations (58,860 ha producing 120,000 tons); • Supervised smallholder plantations (35,000 ha producing 30,000 tons), and • Independent smallholdings (occupying an estimated 100,000 ha producing approximately 80,000 tons of palm oil4).
  • Where do oil palms grow in Cameroon?
  • It is estimated that in Southwest Cameroon, a top producing palm oil region of Africa, 67% of oil palm expansion from 2000-2015 occurred at the expense of forest (Ordway et al., 2025). Many regions in Cameroon have the required growing conditions for oil palm. South-West, South, and Littoral are the most attractive regions for investors.
  • What impact does palm oil exploitation have on Cameroon?
  • Nowadays, palm plantations occupy almost 400 000 ha shared between agro-industries, elites and small farmers while annual palm oil production increased from 150, 000 tons in 2000 to 413,000 tons in 2018 against a demand that peaked at 1.179 million tons in 2018. This would assess the impacts of the oil palm exploitation in Cameroon.
