  • How much palm kernel oil is produced a year?
  • The quantity of palm kernel oil produced is on average 12% that of palm oil. World production in 1998 was 2.9 million tons. After extracting the oil from the palm fruit, a hard kernel is left behind. The kernel is related to a coconut, but with a diameter of about 1 inch.
  • Where does palm kernel oil come from?
  • In terms of their origins, palm kernel oil is obviously grown in the same parts of the world as palm oil and so predominantly comes from Indonesia and Malaysia. Global production of palm kernel oil in 2005 was about 2.5 million metric tonnes, compared with a total of 37 million metric tonnes of palm oil produced in the same year (Dekeloil, 2010).
  • Which oil is imported by Egypt?
  • It is clear that palm oil is the major oil imported by Egypt whereby it represents about 60% of total imported oils in 2018 while the quantity imported from corn oil is the least being about 3% in the same year. Palm oil is imported from Indonesia and Malaysia after being refined, bleached and deodorized (RBD).
  • Where does palm oil come from?
  • Palm oil is imported from Indonesia and Malaysia after being refined, bleached and deodorized (RBD). The amount of palm oil imported from Indonesia represents 96% of total imported palm oil.
  • How has the production of cottonseed oil changed in Egypt?
  • According to that Figure, it is quite clear that the production of cottonseed oil in Egypt has been decreased greatly over the years from 1969 whereby it was 125 thousand tons oil in 1969 to 10 thousand tons only in 2019. 2.
  • How much oil does Egypt eat a year?
  • Currently, Egypt consumes about 2.5 million tons of edible oils annually. Only, about 48.5 thousand tons of this quantity is produced by oilseed extraction in local extraction plants. About half of this quantity is produced mainly from cottonseed produced as a byproduct of cotton ginning industry.
