  • Is Africa open for investment in the palm oil sector?
  • The message is clear: Africa is open for investment in the palm oil sector, but will only welcome investments that comply with these principles. These apply as much to local producers as to international investors. One of Africa’s challenges is that it consumes around 15% of global palm oil production, far more than it produces.
  • How much palm oil does South Africa Import?
  • Imports In 2022, South Africa imported $618M in Palm Oil, becoming the 21st largest importer of Palm Oil in the world. At the same year, Palm Oil was the 26th most imported product in South Africa. South Africa imports Palm Oil primarily from: Indonesia ($483M), Malaysia ($132M), Singapore ($971k), Italy ($462k), and Sweden ($295k).
  • Can small scale palm oil processing be used in West and Central Africa?
  • Sophisticated large scale technologies, on the other hand, are generally beyond the financial reach of the rural population. The present review aims at throwing more light on a third option: small scale or intermediate technologies for palm oil processing in West and Central Africa.
  • What percentage of palm oil is produced by small-scale producers?
  • … Though small-scale producers are characterized by weak milling capacity (Kajisa et al. 1997;Uckert et al. 2015), they occupy a large share of the West African palm oil processing sector, accounting for up to 83% of palm oil production.
