REPORT: Oil Palm Development in Cameroon | WWF
AddThis Utility Frame. REPORT: Oil Palm Development in Cameroon. Posted on 30 April 2012. With Cameroon committed to grow its domestic production of palm oil, there are concerns that the price of this expansion will be paid in the country forests. This working paper seeks to stimulate a debate to ensure that the palm oil industry can
Mapping Oil Palm Plantations in Cameroon
Oil palm plantations have expanded rapidly. Estimating either positive effects on the economy, or negative effects on the environment, requires accurate maps. In this paper, three classification algorithms (Support
Life in and around a palm oil plantation in Cameroon ?in pictures
Palm trees have to be replanted every 25 to 30 years. When Socapalm ?a government-run company for almost four decades ?was privatised back in 2000, the investor began replanting and expanding.
(PDF) Artisanal Milling of Palm Oil
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 in Cameroon: risks and opportunities - CIFOR Knowledge
Oil palm is a native of the central African region, and has been cultivated in Cameroon since times immemorial to produce cooking oil, palm wine, and soap. In 2011, about 100 000 ha of oil palm were grown by small and medium holders and 70 000 ha were owned and exploited by agro-industries.
4. TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUES AND INNOVATIONS

In small-scale processing, digestion, thebreaking up of the oil-bearing cells of the palm fruit’s mesocarp, is themost labour intensive. Two methods of fruit maceration common...
