Environmental sustainability of oil palm

  • Where is oil palm grown in Papua New Guinea?
  • Oil Palm is grown in five project areas in Papua New Guinea: Hoskins and Bialla in West New Britain (WNB), Popondetta, Milne Bay and New Ireland (Figure 1.1). All project areas operate on a nucleus estate-smallholder model whereby smallholders supply oil palm fruit to mills operated by the nucleus estate company.
  • Can Papua New Guinea attract large-scale transnational investments for oil palm production?
  • This article uses a case study in Papua New Guinea (PNG), where the government seeks to attract large-scale transnational investments for oil palm production by formalizing large swathes of customary land.
  • Why is oil palm a major crop in PNG?
  • First, oil palm has been the most common crop proposed for large-scale agricultural development schemes in PNG, so oil palm schemes account for 2.2 million of the total of more than 5 million hectares of land that has been alienated through the grant of ‘special agricultural and business leases’ (SABLs).
  • Why is palm oil important to Papua New Guinea?
  • These wild places are also relied upon for palm oil, the largest produced agricultural commodity in the country. In 2017, palm oil production contributed to $344 million of the country’s total export earnings, providing employment to upwards of 200,000 Papua New Guineans.
