  • Did oil palms come from Africa?
  • There was contro versy on this point (Cook, 1942), and it has been suggested that the oil palm was transported to Africa in pre?Colombian times (Corner, 1966). However, direct evidence of an African origin has been found by the dating of pollen in Miocene sediments in Nigeria (Zeven, 1964). Elenga et al.
  • Where is oil palm grown?
  • Oil palm is a tropical plant species. It thrives on high rainfall, adequate sunlight, and humid conditions ? this means the best growing areas are around the equator.4 Palm oil is therefore grown in many countries across Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia. In the map, we see the distribution of production across the world.
  • Are oil palms growing in Nigeria?
  • Ugbah and Nwawe (2008) stated that growing of oil palms in Nigeria was increasing. Most of the action seems to have been with smallholders (Vermeulen and Goad, 2006; Ugbah and Nwawe, 2008). A target of planting 250,000 ha per annum has been published.
  • How much land is used to grow palm oil?
  • Between 1970 and 2020, the land the world uses to grow palm has increased by almost ten times, from 3 million to almost 30 million hectares. Indonesia and Malaysia account for around 70% of global land use for palm oil. This is relatively little, considering that these countries account for more than 80% of production.
