  • Why is Benin a hub for mass palm oil production?
  • From mechanized processing techniques that allow lower cost prices to a larger production of bulk sales that attract more retailers, Benin has become a hub for mass palm oil manufacturing base. The global market for peanut oil registered a value CAGR of 3.4% from 2016 to 2020.
  • When did Benin start producing oil palms?
  • In the 1950s, Benin launched its first oil palm sector industrialization program in which the colonial government invested in large-scale, public industrial processing facilities. After independence in 1960, the national government established more facilities with greater capacity and planted around 30,000 hectares of selected oil palm seedlings.
  • How much edible oil is produced in Benin?
  • Benin alone produced 109 thousand tonnes of vegetable oils in 2019 (Source: World Data Atlas). The African edible oil market was valued at USD 4,803.28 million in 2021. Experts expect it to reach USD 8503.00 million by 2029, registering a CAGR of 7.40% during the forecast period of 2022-29.
  • Which West African countries produce palm oil?
  • Cameroon: Cameroon is another West African country that has been producing palm oil for decades. It is the 12th-largest producer in the world, with an output of 465,000 metric tons. Ghana: Ghana's palm oil industry is still relatively small, with a production of 300,000 metric tons.
