  • Can Cameroon increase palm oil production?
  • The Government of Cameroon set a target of nearly doubling palm oil production from 250,000 tons in 2015 to 450,000 tons by 2020 ( Hoyle and Levang, 2012 ). In response, a National Strategy is being drafted to identify mechanisms for increasing production in a socially and environmentally sustainable manner.
  • How does palm oil supply chain work in Cameroon?
  • Schematic of palm oil supply chain in Cameroon. Oil palm producers use different milling strategies at the processing stage that are linked to their role in the supply chain. Percentages indicate the fraction of survey respondents that follow a given milling path in the supply chain.
  • Is there a potential oil palm yield gap in Cameroon?
  • In Cameroon, we found that on-farm oil palm yields averaged 5¨C7 tons FFBs ha 1 throughout the study area and across producer groups, well below the 20 tons FFBs ha 1 potential yield for the country ( Nkongho et al., 2015 ). The large yield gap points to a major opportunity to increase production on existing oil palm fields.
  • Does clearing forest increase palm oil production in southwest Cameroon?
  • We found that 73% of oil palm producers in Southwest Cameroon reported clearing forest to expand cultivation, based on a survey of 546 farms. The magnitude of expansion was explained by differences in palm oil milling strategies and supply chain integration.
