At the heart of our operations is the crushing of palm kernels into Crude Palm Kernel Oil (CPKO). Our facility in Douala processes up to 3,200 tonnes of oil annually. The oil is not used for food but goes into industrial applications, 80% of which is for cosmetics. By sourcing kernels locally, we support small producers while securing high-quality raw materials.
All residues from the crushing process are collected and transformed into other products. This circular model enables us to reduce environmental pressure, create new revenue streams, and increase local employment. The entire process is handled on-site, ensuring traceability, efficiency, and sustainability.
From sourcing palm kernels from village plantations to producing export-ready oil and reconditioning refined glycerin — Socami Industry supports sustainable development at every stage of the value chain.
