  • What happened to palm oil in Nigeria?
  • The sector in Nigeria has since witnessed a downturn with contribution to global market share tapering to a meagre 1.4% as at 2018 according to data from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). In the early 1960s, crude palm oil was one of Nigeria’s major sources of foreign exchange.
  • How is palm oil produced in Nigeria?
  • The NIFOR and other small/medium scale fabricated equipment are employed by processors who account for more than 60% of palm oil produced in Nigeria. The following process description is for a 20 tonne per hour fresh fruit bunch mill. The bunches are collected from the fields and delivered to the mill in tipping trucks and tractors with trailers.
  • Why is palm kernel oil so popular in Nigeria?
  • The Nigerian vegetable oil market uniquely features palm kernel oil packaged for household and commercial food frying. More than 60% of refineries in Nigeria are built on palm kernel oil as raw materials. This is because processing of palm kernel oil involves degumming, bleaching, deodorization, cooling, and packaging.
  • What if Nigeria kept its market dominance in the palm oil industry?
  • According to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), if Nigeria had maintained its market dominance in the palm oil industry, the country would have been earning approximately $20 billion annually from cultivation and processing of palm oil as at today. To meet the supply gap of palm oil, the country had to depend on importation over the years.
