In 2018 global consumption is expected to reach 72 million tons, or roughly 20 pounds of palm oil per person.

  • Is palm oil eco-friendly?
  • As an ingredient, it has become difficult to avoid almost everywhere. It’s in all manner of supermarket items: cookies, pizza dough, bread, lipstick, lotion, soap.
