  • What is the palm oil industry like in PNG?
  • Palm Oil industry in PNG operates under a nucleus estate model and has undergone tremendous transformation, from the smallholder out-growers to plantations, with plantations taking over most of the palm oil production by being involved in growing and production of palm oil from the smallholder level up, to processing and refinery.
  • How many palm oil plantations are there in PNG?
  • Commercial palm oil development in PNG is fairly recent with the establishment of five oil palm plantations in PNG since the 1960s, jointly by the PNG government, World Bank and a few companies from the United Kingdom2. One of the pioneer companies was New Britain Palm Oil.
  • How many palm oil mills are there in PNG?
  • NBPOL now operates a total of 11 crude palm oil mills, one palm kernel mill and three palm kernel crushers, processing almost two million tonnes of FFB annually (NBPOL Sustainability Reports).NBPOL is now a major force in the production and supply of palm oil in PNG.
  • What happens if a hectare of land is used for palm oil?
  • Of the 4-6 hectare of land, it is apportioned for other food crops for domestic consumption and for other competing cash crops which results in the reduction of the hectares of land for palm oil cultivation which results in lower production and supply of palm oil.
