All the estates of the Oil Palms Group are situated around the foot of mount Cameroon where they benefit from the rich volcanic soil. The oldest estate is Mungo while the youngest is Illoani. The estates also enjoy the tropical climate with favourable rainfall and sunshine. Each estate has an estate office and a residential quarter for the workers. Some of the estates have schools and churches and in places where it is difficult to retain teachers, CDC employs and pays some qualified teachers who teach children of these estates and neighbouring villages.
