  • How much palm oil did Rwanda export in 2022?
  • Exports In 2022, Rwanda exported $18.2M in Palm Oil, making it the 51st largest exporter of Palm Oil in the world. At the same year, Palm Oil was the 15th most exported product in Rwanda.
  • Which countries export palm oil from Rwanda?
  • The main destination of Palm Oil exports from Rwanda are: Democratic Republic of the Congo ($15.9M), Uganda ($1.63M), Tanzania ($359k), Zambia ($168k), and Burundi ($125k). The fastest growing export markets for Palm Oil of Rwanda between 2021 and 2022 were Uganda ($1.63M), Tanzania ($359k), and Zambia ($168k).
  • Which solvent is used in palm oil extraction?
  • Although, n-hexane is the most common solvent in the industry [ 14 ]. Nonetheless, new solvents are currently being sought for the extraction of oil from palm waste. Generally, palm oil contains a mixture of different chemicals with varying degrees of palmitic, monounsaturated oleic, polyunsaturated linoleic, and stearic acids [ 51 ].
  • Can pyrethrum be used as a plant extract in Rwanda?
  • Local products from Pyrethrum might also be an option to explore. Artemisia extracts for the pharmaceutical industry has the potential to diversify the current plant extract portfolio of Rwandan organizations.
  • How much oil is left in pressed palm mesocarp fibers?
  • Thus, the amount of oil remaining in the pressed palm mesocarp fibers will vary depending on locations and the sophistication of the extraction methods employed. The three standard extraction methods are mechanical extractions [ 33 ], solvent extraction [ 25 ], and enzymatic extraction [ 28 ].
  • How much mesocarp can be recovered from palm trees?
  • The losses might be higher than this depending on the individual practices and available technology. The mesocarp is approximately 15% of the palm fruits [ 25] and the mesocarp of ripe fruits is made up of 70¨C75% oil [ 9, 49 ], out of which about 45¨C56% could be recovered [ 42 ].
