As noted by Makafui, though Ghana’s palm oil production is said to have increased over the decades, the country is a net importer of palm oil. In 2021, the value of palm oil imported by Ghana was $289million as against an export value of $78.1million. This calls for urgent attention to address the challenges in the sector.

- What are the traditional processes of palm oil production?
- The traditional processes usually involve processes like boiling, pounding, fermentation, and oil separation, (Hartley 1983; Ata, 1974) 2.2.5 Extraction of Palm Kernel Oil 2.2.5.1 Production of palm kernel The palm kernel is obtained by the removal of the pericarp of the fruit.
