  • 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.
  • Could the Congo Basin be the next frontier for oil palm expansion?
  • The 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.
  • 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 region’s palm oil sector, and recent evidence suggests they are actively clearing forest to expand.
  • Can Gabon become a leading palm oil exporter?
  • Gabon, a country with very little area currently under cultivation, has ambitions of becoming a leading palm oil exporter. Its national goal is to increase production from 13,000 tons of crude palm oil in 2011 to 280,000 tons per year by 2025 (République Gabonaise 2012).
