Closing yield gaps in oil palm production systems in Ghana through Best Management Practices (2020, background): “Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is one of the world’s most rapidly expanding equatorial crops, driven by increasing global demand for vegetable oil and biofuel (Corley, 2009; Fitzherbert et al., 2008; Wich et al., 2014).”
Oil palm expansion transforms tropical landscapes and livelihoods (2012, background): “Demand for vegetable oil is expected to be around 240 Mt yr 1 by 2050, twice the 2009 value (Corley, 2009); palm oil is particularly favoured on account of its low production cost.”
What are the limits to oil palm expansion (2016, unknown): “Since there is empirical evidence of oil palm being cultivated under less favorable climatic conditions (Corley, 2009; PALMCI, 2011; Yao and Kamagate, 2010), we are con ﬁ dent in using a lower minimum threshold value.”
Trio under threat: can we secure the future of rhinos, elephants and tigers in Malaysia? (2010, background): “With the growing global demand for edible oils (Corley 2009), lowland natural forests will continue to come under pressure for conversion.”
Wildlife‐friendly oil palm plantations fail to protect biodiversity effectively (2010, background): “2002) and a rapidly growing biofuel market (Koh 2007; Koh & Ghazoul 2008; Corley 2009), agriculture is likely to continue to drive declines in natural ecosystems and the species they contain for the foreseeable future.”
