  • What is palm oil processing project?
  • PALM OIL PROCESSING PROJECT PROPOSAL OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT: Palm Oil is a product extracted from Palm fruit which is the main raw material used. Palm oil processing in a small scale mills involves a point where harvested bunches of palm fruits are received at the mill.
  • What are the seasons of palm oil processing?
  • The palm oil processing project is of two (2) seasons ie. Bumper and light or lean seasons. The bumper is between February and August while that of light is between September and January. During the bumper season the product are sometimes stored for a good market price.
  • What is palm oil mill waste?
  • In Malaysia, palm oil mill waste (POMW) contributes the highest proportion of industrial solid wastes produced yearly. Wastes from the mills include palm oil mill effluent, decanter cake, empty fruit bunches, seed shells and the fibre from the mesocarp.
  • What is palm oil mill effluent?
  • The palm oil production process in mills consists of several unit operations. The processing of fresh fruit bunches of oil palm results in the generation of different types of residue. Among the waste generated, palm oil mill effluent (POME) is considered the most harmful waste for the environment if discharged untreated.
  • Are pre-emptive measures necessary when intercropping annual food crops with oil palm?
  • The study therefore, suggests the need for pre-emptive measures—such as food crop choice, planting density amongst others—to be taken into consideration when intercropping annual food crops with oil palm so as not to jeopardize the yield of oil palm at production stage.
  • Do smallholder oil palm farmers use intercropping?
  • The study was carried out in seven communities in the Bamuso Sub-division of the South–West Region of Cameroon and seeks to understand how smallholder oil palm farmers (small, medium and large scale) use the intercropping technique during the early stages of oil palm development as a means to improve on their livelihood.
