Global Market Report: Palm Oil Prices and Sustainability

  • How has palm oil production changed since the 1960s?

  • Where does palm oil come from?
  • In the map, we see the distribution of production across the world. Small amounts of palm oil are grown in many countries, but the global market is dominated by only two: Indonesia and Malaysia. In the chart, we see the production of the palm oil plant across a number of countries. Other producers include Thailand, Colombia, and Nigeria.
  • Is palm oil a commodity?
  • The story of palm oil is less about it as an isolated commodity and more about the rising demand for vegetable oils. Palm oil is a very productive crop; as we will see later, it produces over a third of the world’s oil but uses less than a tenth of croplands devoted to oil production. It has, therefore, been a natural choice to meet this demand.
