to switch to planting oil palm (Ngando et al. 2011). This is further illustrated by the fact that the purchase of germinated oil palm seeds (chitted nuts) by small- and medium-sized farmers at the Centre for Oil Palm Research at La Dibamba (Cameroon) rose from 20% of the total production in 1996 to an average of 60% during the past 10 years.

The NIFOR mechanical screw-press is the latest used by the small-scale palm oil processing industry in south africaia. This consists of a perforated tube inside which a transport screw rotates. The press outlet is more or less closed by a cone that regulates the pressing pressure. The worm transports and gradually compresses the macerated fruits.

If small-scale millers could be able to generate steam for FFB sterilization and use in palm oil clarification, the quality of their crude palm oil (CPO) will greatly improve. Clarification, followed by the drying of the clarified oil is a critical unit operation in palm oil processing because it eliminates dirt and other unwanted material that

In Cameroon, oil palm plantations cover more than 170,000 ha of national land, including 70,000 ha of industrial plantations and 100,000 ha of village plantations. 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

This paper presents a case-study analysis of oil palm expansion in Cameroon, with two goals: 1) to identify which actors are engaged in non-industrial oil palm cultivation (i.e., small- and medium-scale plantations less than 1000 ha); and 2) to determine what type of farms are expanding at the expense of forest.

Current expansion of palm oil in Cameroon Due to increased global demand for palm oil and suitable conditions for oil palm development, Cameroon has witnessed a sharp rise in investor enquiries seeking land to plant oil palms since 2009. It is believed that at least 6 companies are currently trying to secure over 1 million hectare of land for the

Using three farm size typologies (small, medium and large scale farms) based on Ordway et al. (2017), we show that oil palm adoption is positively associated with all farm classifications. That is, small farms, as well as large farms, are engaged in the cultivation of oil palm, though this is largely predominant in large farms.

Oil palm plantations are very diverse, ranging from smallholder plots of less than 1 ha targeting family or village consumption of artisanal palm oil in Cameroon, to very large industrial plantations of more than 50 000 ha hold by multinationals in Indonesia targeting urban consumers of the producing country and exportation.
