Sustainable development of the palm oil sector in the Congo Basin: The
Key messagesThe Congo Basin is rich in biodiversity and stores an estimated 25%–30% of the world’s tropical forest carbon stocks. As agricultural land becomes increasingly scarce in Southeast Asia, and regulatory pressures continue to intensify, the Congo Basin could become the next frontier for oil palm expansion. Most of the roughly 280 million hectares (Mha) of additional land suitable
Africa’s contribution to global palm oil supplies declined from 77 percent in 1961 to less than 4 percent in 2014, as the crop boomed in Malaysia and Indonesia. But many of the Congo Basin’s most forested countries are dreaming big. Cameroon aims to double palm oil production by 2035, and Gabon has ambitions of becoming a leading exporter.
Congo: The Next Frontier for the Palm Oil Industry | IntechOpen
The oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) originated in West and Central Africa. Some of the earliest scientific breakthroughs that led to the development of the palm oil industry were made in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC, earlier known as the Belgian Congo); these include the elucidation of the genetics of the kernel shell thickness and the identification of the basic engineering
across climatically suitable regions of West and Central Afric. (FAO 2017). Nigeria has long been the continent’s top-producing country. Production increases over the past. two decades, however, have been concentrated in the Congo Basin (Figure 1). Of the 278 Mha of additional land suitable for oil palm in the Congo Basin, 60% is found in the D.
Plantations et Huileries du Congo - PHC is the largest producer of palm
Founded in the 1920s, Lokutu is PHC's largest plantation. Located about 250 km from Kisangani, Lokutu contains about 9.700 hectares of planted oil palms.
Operational readiness: Prepare the plant for full-scale operations by establishing standard operating procedures, quality control protocols, and safety measures. By following these general steps, one can establish a well-designed and properly equipped palm oil mill plant that is poised for efficient production and long-term success.
Palm Oil Development in the Congo Basin
It is imperative that Congo Basin governments recognize and protect community rights to land as large-scale palm oil investments increase.

For that reason, our biggest focus across Southeast Asia and the Congo Basin is getting companies to invest in conserving and restoring an area at least as great as the 30,000 square miles of
Palm Oil Landscapes in DR Congo
Oil palm plants are germinated in specialized nurseries managed by INERA staff. Access to the palm oil plantation via a path cut across the forest. A 4th generation (planted in 1984) oil palm plantation. The spaces between the rows of plants are covered with a variety of leguminous plants to preserve the soil moisture.
In 2013, the government of the Republic of Congo authorized a company called Lexus Agric, without making any of the contracts public, to plant oil palm and rubber trees on a 500-square-kilometer
- Will oil palm production increase in the Congo Basin?
- Land area allocated to oil palm increased by 40% in the Congo Basin and five additional top-producing countries in Africa between 1990 and 2017. Without intervention, future production increases in the region will likely come from expansion rather than intensification due to low crop and processing yields, possibly at the expense of forest.
- Where can oil palm be grown in the Congo Basin?
- Most of the roughly 280 million hectares (Mha) of additional land suitable for oil palm in the Congo Basin are found in the Democratic Republic of Congo (60%), Cameroon (11%) and the Republic of Congo (10%). Many heavily forested countries in the Congo Basin are setting national targets to increase production to meet national and regional demands.
- Can palm oil mills reduce deforestation in the Congo Basin?
- Sustainability strategies initiated by companies and aimed at certifying palm oil mills are unlikely to be effective at curbing deforestation in the Congo Basin. Smallholder farmers are an engine of growth in the regions palm oil sector, and recent evidence suggests they are actively clearing forest to expand.
- Will Indonesia-style palm oil come to the Congo Basin?
- Large scale palm oil operations were a feature of the region during the colonial era and people living in and around the Congo Basin have long had small scale farming and palm oil operations. But the scale of SGSOC¡¯s current project may represent the arrival of the Indonesia-style palm oil industry to the region.
