  • Where is palm oil produced?
  • Currently, palm oil is primarily produced in Southeast Asia, with Indonesia and Malaysia account for approximately 84% of the world’s production (USDA 2019). According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the demand for palm oil is anticipated to hit 156 million tonnes by 2050 (Officer 2016).
  • Does Africa produce palm oil?
  • Africa has a long history of palm oil production (Onwueme, 1979), longer than Malaysia and Indonesia, but most African farmers have focused on other cash crops such as coffee and cocoa and food crops instead of palm oil.
  • Why are there no case studies of palm oil production in Africa?
  • In contrast, few case studies were found in Africa despite the continent being the origin of palm oil cultivation. The low number of case studies in Africa could result from a combination of low yield in palm oil and lack of capacity in researching and reporting on impact.
  • Which countries import palm oil?
  • India, European Union (EU), China, Pakistan and Bangladesh imported more than half of the world’s palm oil production (>27.4 million tonnes). The commodity imported to India had accounted for 18.6% (10.2 million tonnes) of the global output.
