  • Why do African countries want to raise palm oil production?

  • Which West African countries produce palm oil?
  • Cameroon: Cameroon is another West African country that has been producing palm oil for decades. It is the 12th-largest producer in the world, with an output of 465,000 metric tons. Ghana: Ghana’s palm oil industry is still relatively small, with a production of 300,000 metric tons.
  • How much oil does oil palm produce a year?
  • Oil palm crops globally produce an annual 81 million tonnes (Mt) of oil from about 19 million hectares (Mha). In contrast, the second and third largest vegetable oil crops, soybean and rapeseed, yield a combined 84 Mt oil but occupy over 163 Mha of increasingly scarce arable land. The oil palm crop system faces many challenges in the 2020s.
