Best management practices for sustainable

  • Can 'best management practices' increase oil palm yield in Ghana?
  • The area under oil palm in Ghana has expanded but average fruit bunch yields remained low, resulting in large yield gaps. This study assessed the potential for increasing yield with 'Best Management Practices (BMP)' on plantations and smallholder farms in southern Ghana, compared with current standard practices, i.e. reference (REF) yield.
  • Does area expansion increase the production of palm oil in Ghana?
  • Most of the increases in the production of palm oil in Ghana have been achieved through area expansion (Rhebergen et al., 2018). By contrast, increasing yields with BMP offers scope to reduce the requirement for future area expansion to meet the increasing demand for palm oil (preferably if tenera planting material is used).
  • How can Ghana’s palm oil industry be sustainable?
  • The sustainable production of palm oil in Ghana is being spearheaded by MOFA and regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through the issuance of Environmental Permits.
  • What percentage of palm oil is produced in Ghana?
  • The percentage of palm oil production in Ghana is between 5 and 10%.
