Why is palm oil important?

• Palm oil accounts for over 35% of the world's vegetable oil market and it is a source of livelihood and revenue to many farmers all over the globe.
• Most especially, oil palm supports livelihoods in developing nations (including Nigeria).
• Harvested all year round, oil palm trees produce on average 10 tons of fruit per hectare - far more than soya, rapeseed, and sunflower crops.
• This means oil palm requires 10 times less land than the other three major oil-producing crops, soya, rapeseed, and sunflower.
• In addition to the 3.74 tons of palm oil per hectare, 0.4 tons of palm kernel oil and 0.4 tons of palm kernel expeller/ cake are also produced from the fresh fruit bunches (or FFB).
• Palm kernel expeller is used extensively in the energy and animal feed sector.
• Palm kernel oil is a widely used ingredient in the personal care market.
