  • How is palm oil produced in Nigeria?
  • The NIFOR and other small/medium scale fabricated equipment are employed by processors who account for more than 60% of palm oil produced in Nigeria. The following process description is for a 20 tonne per hour fresh fruit bunch mill. The bunches are collected from the fields and delivered to the mill in tipping trucks and tractors with trailers.
  • Why is palm kernel oil so popular in Nigeria?
  • The Nigerian vegetable oil market uniquely features palm kernel oil packaged for household and commercial food frying. More than 60% of refineries in Nigeria are built on palm kernel oil as raw materials. This is because processing of palm kernel oil involves degumming, bleaching, deodorization, cooling, and packaging.
  • How is palm oil extracted from a screw press?
  • Palm oil released from the screw press is transferred to the clarifier where it is steam washed and transferred into storage. The presscake is transferred through the cake breaker to the cyclone where the nuts are separated from the fiber. The nuts are further processed into kernels and the fiber used to fire the boiler.
  • Why was unfractionated refined palm oil not marketable in Nigeria?
  • Unfractionated refined palm oil was not marketable to industrial end users in Nigeria hence the boom in the smuggling of refined bleached and deodorized palm olein from Malaysia and Singapore and the extraction of palm kernel oil for household frying.
