  • Is a palm oil processing plant necessary in Ghana?
  • Palm oil is one of the major sources of edible oil. It is extracted from a fleshy mesocarp of the palm fruit. Setting up a palm oil production plant isnecessarysince global demand is on the rise. But there are many requirements for setting up a palm oil processing plant in Ghana which demands a feasibility study.
  • How much is palm oil in Ghana?
  • Palm oil and its fractions, whether or not refined (excluding chemically modified and crude) (HS code 151190) The total values in export for palm oil in Ghana were US$ 186,030, US$ 215,160, US$ 164,434 and US$ 220,318 in US dollar thousand for the years 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 in that order. Are you looking for todays prices of palm oil?
  • How big is the palm oil industry in Ghana?
  • Using a per capita BOD loading of 54 gBOD/day (Von Sperling 2007) and average daily wastewater production of 474 l for small-scale palm oil processing mills in Ghana, the population equivalent (PE) for the small-scale industry is about 200 inhabitants.
  • What is the extraction rate of palm oil in Ghana?
  • The results of oil and grease obtained in this study confirms the low oil extraction rate of 12–13% reported for small-scale palm oil processers in Ghana (MASDAR 2011 ). The peak production seasons coincide with the rainy seasons in Ghana.
  • How many palm oil processing units are there in Ghana?
  • Available data indicates that there are more than 400 small-scale palm oil processing units in Ghana (Fold and Whitfield 2012) most of which are sited in small towns and rural communities.
  • Where in Ghana is oil palm grown?
  • Oil palm is grown in the south-western third of Ghana, which is mapped as a biodiversity hotspot on the Global Forest Watch.
