In Cameroon, palm oil contributes to nearly 80% of edible oil demand, 30% of which is estimated to come from non-industrial mills (Frank et al., 2011). Red palm oil, the most widely consumed form, results from partially refined crude palm oil and is high in Vitamin E and alpha- and beta-carotene ( Nagendran et al., 2000 ).

Oil palm in Cameroon: risks and opportunities - Semantic Scholar
Oil palm is a native of the central African region, and has been cultivated in Cameroon since times immemorial to produce cooking oil, palm wine, and soap. In 2011, about 100 000 ha of oil palm were grown by small and medium holders and 70 000 ha were owned and exploited by agro-industries. This area is not productive enough to cover the domestic needs for oil, and the country imports about 50
