On the road to sustainable palm oil production
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

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 domestic demand. Most of the imported palm oil comes from Indonesia, Malaysia and Gabon.

Oil Palm Development in Cameroon - Panda
The Government of Cameroon Rural Sector Development Plan proposes an increase in palm oil production to 300,000 tons in 2015 and 450,000 tons in 2020. This can be achieved primarily through increasing oil production yields, as well as potentiallyincreasing the area under oil palm production and by increasing oil extraction rates.
