This is a large agro-industrial company that grows oil palms and rubber as its main crops. It has plantations in Ndian and Lobe where they specialize in the production of palms oil and also in Bai specialized in the production of rubber. All these cover a total land surface area of about 10300 hectares with a capital of about 1.874 billion pumped in by the government of Cameroon (highest share) and para-public and private companies.
This plantation is supervised by the ministries of Agriculture and Rural Development and Finance.
The plantation is governed by a board of directors (12 in number) that represent the various partners, headed by a board chairman.
Pamol is managed by a general manager and assisted by a deputy. They manage five departments: finance and administration, plantations and research, technical, human resources and internal audit.
The plantation has eight products to its credit which include palm oil, palm kernel, palm kernel oil, soap, sludge oil, seeds, seedlings and palm kernel cake.
The future of the company lies in a huge joit investment plan (contract-plan Etat/Pamol). It is a 14.3 billion plan that is aimed at rehabilitating it with a new palm oil factory together with the extension of the farms, application of fertilizers, replanting and the acquiring of new equipment.

Company Overview
The first mill of what is today PAMOL Plantations Plc, was inaugurated on the 14th of April, 1967 by Cameroon`s first President Amadou Ahidjo in Lobe. At that time, the company was known as “Plantations Pamol Du Cameroun” and owned by a British concern by name Unilever. When the expatriates left in the late 1980s, because the prices of rubber and palm oil plummeted across the board making their operations unprofitable, Plantations Pamol du Cameroun, was placed under liquidation. At this point, Unilever got pollination insects from the research centre in Lobe conducted by a team led by Dr. Syed and exported to Unilever plantations in Malaysia and that boosted their production about 3-folds causing them to find no reason to stay in Cameroon.
However, the company continued operations until July 1996, when Pamol Plantations Ltd was created through a debt equity swap between creditors of the defunct Plantations Pamol du Cameroun Ltd, which was still a subsidiary of Unilever and shareholders of the new company. The new company kick started its operations in November, 1996. Pamol Plantations Ltd was transformed into Pamol Plantations Public Liability Company in November, 2006 to conform to the OHADA treaty and it has remained as such to date.
