IMPACT INVESTMENT CHALLENGES IN THE AFRICAN

  • How to increase palm oil production volume without land expansion?
  • This translates to an oil loss of 1.5% to 2.0% (OER equivalent). Considering the sustainability context, improving the OER via the adoption of new technology during the mill-ing process is an approach to increase the production volume of palm oil without the need for land expansion.
  • 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).
  • What is the processing capacity of a palm oil mill in Malaysia?
  • The typical processing capacity of a palm oil mill in Malaysia ranges from 10 tonnes to 120 tonnes of FFB per hour. It is of utmost importance that during harvesting, FFB is collected immediately and transported to the nearby palm oil mills for processing.
  • Does palm oil milling improve OER?
  • Based on the world production of palm oil in 2018, approximately 3 million tonnes of additional palm oil can be produced globally with a 1% increase in OER. In this paper, the current status of the palm oil milling process and the factors affecting the OER are discussed. Subsequently, the methods to improve the OER are reviewed.
