Oil palm expansion among non-industrial producers
Oil palm cultivation in Cameroon has been in the hands of agro-industries since it was first planted in 1907 (Hoyle and Levang, 2012). In the 1970s, only about 10%
On the road to sustainable palm oil production in Cameroon
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.

This study was carried out in three major palm-oil producing areas in Cameroon with the aim of investigating the artisanal milling and commercialization of red palm oil. Structured and semi
Oil palm expansion and deforestation in Southwest Cameroon
This latter finding is consistent with expectations given high extraction rates at high-efficiency agro-industrial mills (i.e., 20?2% in Southwest Cameroon). In addition to oil palm, these agro

Oil palm expansion in Cameroon: Insights into sustainability
This paper presents a case-study analysis of oil palm expansion in Cameroon, with two goals: 1) to identify which actors are engaged in non-industrial oil palm cultivation (i.e., small- and medium-scale plantations less than 1000 ha); and 2) to determine what type of farms are expanding at the expense of forest.
An economic analysis of small-scale technologies for palm oil
Artisanal production of palm oil meets a significant and growing portion of the domestic demand in Central and West Africa. The traditional technology of pressing

lands, notably for industrial palm oil production. It is in this context that, in 2011, a dedicated office was set up in Cameroon for companies seeking land titles; similarly, in the Republic of Congo, relaunching the palm oil industry is a stated priority of the national agricultural policy2. Recently, this trend has further expanded to
