Challenges and Opportunities of Oil Palm Production in Uganda
Oil palm, a lucrative vegetable oil crop in the world, showed promising adaptability to some agroecologies in Uganda from studies carried out in the 1970s resulting in first commercial establishment in 2005 in Bugala Island, Kalangala district. Further, adaptability studies continue to reveal suitable areas for commercial oil palm production in the country. The infant industry faces an array ...
In Uganda, Kalangala 299 jas.ccsenet.org Journal of Agricultural Science Vol. 12, No. 11; 2020 district is currently the production hub with 11,484 ha under oil palm cultivation. 6,500 ha belong to the nucleus estate owned by Oil palm Uganda limited and 4,984 ha are under smallholder out-growers (NOPP, 2018).
Opportunities and Challenges in Uganda’s Vegetable Oil Industry
The trade value of crude palm oil in 2015 was US$149 million. Data from VODP indicates that in 2015 palm oil production was approximately 23,000 tonnes representing a mean growth in production of 37% from 2010. However imports of crude palm oil from South East Asia have also risen along with the increased production of palm oil.
yields or production from the Kalangala oil palm hub, since oil palms in Buvuma have not yet started to yield (oil palm takes 3-4 years before harvest). In addition to Buvuma, there are two new areas that were identified by the government under the National Oil Palm Project (NOPP) – i.e., Masaka and Mayuge.

In 2003, Government of Uganda and Bidco Uganda Limited unveiled plans to establish 40,000 Hectares of Oil Palm across the Country and setup Crude Oil mills and a refinery to guarantee market for the Oil Palm farmers produce. T hrough a ten year National Oil Palm Project (NOPP), the Ministry is expanding the production of the Oil Palm from 11,348ha
OPUL's Damanik said Uganda will need 100,000ha under oil palm if it is to fully substitute its palm oil imports at the current consumption rates. He adds that such production can only be achieved ...
Growth and Yield Parameters of Introduced Oil Palm Crop in Uganda
Oil palm is a reliable source for the much needed vegetable oils in Uganda because yields the highest oil amount per unit area compared to all other vegetable oil crops. Based on this premise in ...
However, the fact that oil palm trees have an economic life span of up to 25 years, beginning at the time the tree reaches maturity (at about three years) and increase up to 12th year (Tan et al., 2013), may help to explain the increase in oil palm yield over the years the study was conducted According to Corley and Gray (1976), oil palm yield ...
- Is Bugiri a potential area for oil palm production in Uganda?
- But, yield in Bugiri was not significantly different from that of Buvuma and Kibaale but significantly (P < 0.05) higher than in Masaka. The findings on growth and yield of introduced oil palm crop revealed that Kibale, Buvuma and Bugiri are potential areas for oil palm production in Uganda.
- Are new areas suitable for oil palm production in Uganda?
- But with increasing demand for vegetable oils in Uganda more areas for oil palm production are required. A study was conducted to identify new areas suitable for oil palm production. The experiment was super-imposed on 45 × 45 m plots in 3-year old oil palm plantations in Bugiri, Buvuma, Kibaale and Masaka.
- Can oil palm seedlings be grown in Uganda?
- In Uganda, commercial oil palm cultivation began in 2005 in Bugala Islands. Seedlings were imported from countries with established breeding programs. These seedlings were grown in areas with different environmental conditions which have resulted in a number of physiological disorders. The aim of this research was to
- Are new areas suitable for oil palm production?
- A study was conducted to identify new areas suitable for oil palm production. The experiment was super-imposed on 45 × 45 m plots in 3-year old oil palm plantations in Bugiri, Buvuma, Kibaale and Masaka. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications.
- Where is oil palm grown in Africa?
- In Africa, oil palm is grown in 25 countries supported by corporate investors. In Uganda, commercial oil palm cultivation began in 2005 in Bugala Islands. Seedlings were imported from countries with established breeding programs.
