  • Is palm oil a productive crop?
  • Palm oil is a very productive crop, producing 36% of the world’s oil while using less than 9% of croplands devoted to oil production. It has therefore been a natural choice to meet this demand. Palm oil is productive; it produces 36% of the world’s oil, but uses less than 9% of croplands devoted to oil production. Who uses palm oil and what is it used for? Why has the market for palm oil ? and vegetable oils more broadly ? increased so rapidly?
  • Where is most of the palm oil produced?
  • Indonesia and Malaysia account for 84% of the global palm oil production, with Indonesia producing 57% (41 million tonnes) and Malaysia producing 27% (20 million tonnes).
  • Is palm oil harmful to the environment?
  • Palm oil production has had a negative impact on the environment, particularly in Indonesia and Malaysia, due to the increased global demand for vegetable oils over the last 50 years. Palm oil is the most productive oilcrop, and as a result, it has taken up a significant portion of this production.
  • How has palm oil changed over the past 50 years?
  • The production of palm oil has significantly increased over the past 50 years. In 1970, the world produced only 2 million tonnes. This is now 35 times higher, with 71 million tonnes produced in 2018. Palm oil production has risen in response to the broad increase in demand for vegetable oils.
