  • Is small-scale palm oil processing feasible in Nigeria?
  • Palm oil is a major food and non-food ingredient consumed by virtually everyone in Nigeria through the use of palm oil related products. This study investigates the feasibility of small-scale palm oil processing in Nigeria, using Elele, Rivers State as case study. Information was elicited through interviews and physical observations.
  • Is small-scale oil palm processing profitable?
  • About 34% and 32% of the processors have WASC and Primary School Leaving Certificates respectively as the educational qualification. About 50% of the processors have 16-20 years experience in oil palm processing. The study concludes that small-scale oil palm processing is profitable and can also be a source of employment.
  • How much does a small-scale palm oil processing mill cost?
  • The findings show that the average cost of procuring equipment and its installations for a small-scale palm oil processing mill were estimated at N623,650.00. The gross margin return from this study was N44,000.00 while net return was N14,000.00.
  • Does Ethiopia produce edible oil?
  • Despite Ethiopia being a major producer and exporter of oilseeds, it imports more than three-fourths of its domestic edible oil consumption. The sector has potential due to the increase in demand. Small scale millers currently supply more than 60% of the domestically produced edible oil. One of the main inputs here is noug.
