  • Where is small-scale oil palm processing in Africa?
  • Small-scale oil palm processing in Africa. FAO, Rome, Italy. The strong global demand for oils and fats has caused a rapid growth of the oil palm industry in the West and Central African region and other parts of the world, creating new opportunities for small-scale oil palm producers.
  • Are smallholder farmers part of Africa's palm oil supply chain?
  • Africa¡¯s smallholder farmers play crucial roles in palm oil production, although their inclusion in the sustainable supply chain is still minimal. If Africa¡¯s oil palm sector follows a more sustainable path forward, issues governing land rights and smallholder inclusion need to be addressed.
  • Do smallholder oil palm growers ensure palm oil production in a changing climate?
  • The cultivation of oil palm is usually dominated by smallholders and produces about 40% of global palm oil demand. Therefore, in this study, we aim to investigate the role of smallholder oil palm growers in ensuring palm oil production in a changing climate. This study was based on a conventional literature review.
  • How do Indonesian oil palm smallholders measure livelihood resilience?
  • This study comprehensively measured the livelihood resilience of Indonesian oil palm smallholders using the Sustainable Livelihoods Approach. This approach has often been used to capture vulnerability and measure livelihood resilience to enhance development programs 30.
  • Where can a smallholder oil palm plantation be identified?
  • Based on the smallholder oil palm map, plantations in ineligible areas, such as forests, peatlands, and conservation areas, can be identified.
  • Does small-scale palm oil production in Kigoma retain the character of local adapted farming?
  • The present study suggests that small-scale production and processing of palm oil in Kigoma (whether intercropped or not) is likely to retain the character of a locally adapted farming system destined to provide enough product for the subsistence of the families and to generate some additional income for the farmers.
