  • How many smallholder oil palms are in Riau?
  • According to the study, only around 50,000 hectares (123,600 acres) of smallholder oil palms, or 30% of smallholdings in Riau, were located inside oil palm concessions, while about 21,700 hectares (53,600 acres), or 14%, were inside pulpwood concessions.
  • Could oil palms become an alternative cash crop in Kenya?
  • But studies done by the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organisation (Kalro) have shown that the oil palm tree can grow along the Equator, particularly in Western Kenya. This means oil palm could become an alternative cash crop for residents of Western and Nyanza regions, who mainly rely on sugarcane farming.
  • What is oil palm mill & how does it work?
  • The majority of the oil palm mill employed a wet process for the oil extraction, utilizing fresh fruit bunch (FFB). No chemicals are added during the oil extraction process from the oil palm fruits, thereby making all wastes generated as non-toxic to the environment.
  • Where did oil palms grow in West Africa?
  • Archaeological evidence shows that palm fruit and their oil already formed an integral part of West African diets 5,000 years ago. With the exception of “royal” oil palm plantations, established in the 18th century for palm wine in the Kingdom of Dahomey, all of West Africa’s oil palms grew in wild and semi-wild groves.
