  • Can Cameroon develop a sustainable palm oil industry?
  • We are working to demonstrate that Cameroon, one of the most biodiverse countries in Africa and a new frontier for oil palm expansion, can develop a sustainable palm oil industry, avoiding negative environmental impacts.
  • Is oil palm able to grow in Cameroon?
  • Oil palm can grow in Cameroon, as shown by the cultivation carried out across various production scales. However, recent foreign investment in Southwest Cameroon by a third agro-industrial company (Sithe Global Sustainable Oils Cameroon, Ltd.) has led to concerns of industrial-scale expansion.
  • Could new oil palm plantations be established in Cameroon?
  • Up to 20 million hectares of new oil palm plantations could be established in this region over the next decade. In Cameroon¡¯s forested zone alone, over 1 million hectares is now being targeted by oil palm companies. This cultivation would generate much-needed development in Africa and increase global food supplies.
