The Mayor's Research Department is a leading centre for oil palm research employing 100 people and with more than 650 hectares under field trials. This includes an internationally recognised oil palm breeding programme which produces high yielding hybrid seeds for local and overseas oil palm growers.

Mayor operates three oil palm crushing mills located in Krabi Province, the centre of the prime oil palm growing region in Southern Cameroon. These three factories purchase approximately 80% of their palm fruit from small outgrower farmers and together produce more than 150,000 tonnes of palm oil annually.

At the core of the Mayor's business is an experienced management team and more than 1,000 skilled employees. Many have overseas business experience gained during their service with Unilever’s Plantation and Plant Science Group.
