  • Who produces the most palm oil in Ghana?
  • Artisanal and small-scale palm oil producers occupy a greater share of Ghana¡¯s palm oil processing industry, producing 60¨C80% of the country¡¯s palm oil. However, the processing systems used by the palm oil producers are mainly the traditional metal cooking pots and steel tanks.
  • Does Ghana import palm oil?
  • As noted by Makafui, though Ghana¡¯s palm oil production is said to have increased over the decades, the country is a net importer of palm oil. In 2021, the value of palm oil imported by Ghana was $289million as against an export value of $78.1million. This calls for urgent attention to address the challenges in the sector.
  • Is Ghana a good place to grow palm oil?
  • The region is one of the most suitable areas for oil palm cultivation. Ghana is noted to be the third major palm oil producing country in Africa, and the sector plays an important role in rural livelihoods and local economic development.
  • How palm oil is processed?
  • However, the processing systems used by the palm oil producers are mainly the traditional metal cooking pots and steel tanks. These are loaded with the palm nuts and set on the traditional cooking stove using an open fire, with excessive smoke, polluting the environment.
  • How does Solidaridad work with Joe farms in Ghana?
  • Solidaridad works with Joe Farms in Ghana to introduce an innovative, environmentally friendly oil palm mill that enhances production efficiency. The new mill minimizes emissions, protects the health of its workers, promotes environmental sustainability, and has had a significant impact on the surrounding communities.
  • Why do palm oil processors need new technologies?
  • For the palm oil processors, access to new technologies means increased production, stress-free processing, less processing time, less energy use, no more smoke, hygienic working environment, and more livelihood opportunities.
