  • What challenges do palm oil companies face?
  • A key challenge for the palm oil trade is increasing yield productivity per unit area, and companies have been working on technologies that work throughout the production chain, from planting materials to finished product.
  • How many palm oil workers are there in Malaysia?
  • In 2012, the Malaysian palm oil industry employed an estimated 491,000 workers. Malaysia's Sime Darby is the largest listed palm oil company globally, based on plantation area and fresh fruit bunch production. The company was created through a Malaysian government initiated merger in December 2006.
  • Are original-equipment manufacturers focusing on palm oil?
  • Anita Neville, vice president of corporate communications and sustainability relations at GAR notes that currently original-equipment manufacturers (OEM) are not focused on palm oil but more on conventional agriculture in developed markets, hence a lot of new developments are driven by individual companies and not shared with the whole industry.
  • Where did palm oil come from?
  • Palm oil trees were introduced to British Malaya by the British government in early 1870s as ornament plants from Eastern Region and The Oil River Protectorate, Nigeria, West Africa. The first commercial palm oil cultivation was done in Selangor in 1917 at Tennamaran Estate.
