  abstract = {{T}he present article explores the origin and changes in partnership agreements established between agro-industries and oil palm smallholders in {C}ameroon. {T}he different forms of partnership which have existed over the years in the oil palm sector until now are assessed, notably the {FONADER}-sponsored smallholder scheme (1978 to 1991) and more recently the {A}friland {F}irst {B}ank sponsored villagisation project of {S}ocapalm {E}seka (2007/2008 to present). {S}pecial attention is given to the factors and conditions that have influenced the outcomes of these partnerships, specifically the failure of the {FONADER}-sponsored smallholder scheme. {T}he authors conclude that with the current absence of steady support from the government to oil palm smallholders, especially after the implementation of the structural adjustment plans, private partnership schemes between agro-industries and oil palm smallholders could be highly profitable for both stakeholders. {S}uch partnerships can foster social cohesion and limit further encroachment of agro-industries into the primary forest, provided such partnership agreements are carefully planned and adequately implemented.},
