Small-Scale Palm Oil Production in Ghana: Practices
The environmental impact of small-scale palm oil processing mills in Ghana has come under serious questioning, especially the disposal of wastewater generated from their operations. This chapter describes the small-scale palm oil production operations in Ghana to highlight the associated environmental problems arising from the disposal of wastewater and other waste by-products. The chapter
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.

Enhanced incentive and regulatory frameworks needed in Ghana
Moreover, investment opportunities exist in primary production, processing, and converting oil palm trunks (OPT) and fronds (OPF) into valuable products.
The oil palm sector was selected by CoS-SIS’ national consultative group as one of the priority domains for research in Ghana. Unpublished exploratory and scoping studies by two of the authors of this paper (S. Adjei-Nsiah and C. Osei-Amponsah) were conducted in 2009 in order to explore opportunities and constraints in the oil palm industry, which were then examined in-depth in the

Bioenergy in the Palm Oil Processing Sector in Ghana
(BOPP), Norwegian Oil Palm Ghana (NorPalm), Twifo Oil Palm Plantation (TOPP), Juaben Oil Mills (JOM) and Plantations SOCFINAF Ghana (PSG). SECTOR OVERVIEW African oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) has been a major edible oil source and one of the most important crops in West Africa for centuries. The most suitable areas for oil palm in Ghana are in the
This is a delicate process where palm oil equipment is adopted to extract the crude palm oil. It is more suitable for large scale turnkey palm oil processing plant. Some of our customers may needs mini scale or small scale palm oil production equipment to help them enter into this industry as a starter.

Oil palm in the 2020s and beyond: challenges and solutions
Background Oil palm, Elaeis guineensis, is by far the most important global oil crop, supplying about 40% of all traded vegetable oil. Palm oils are key dietary components consumed daily by over three billion people, mostly in Asia, and also have a wide range of important non-food uses including in cleansing and sanitizing products. Main body Oil palm is a perennial crop with a > 25-year life
The environmental impact of small-scale palm oil processing mills in Ghana has come under serious questioning, especially the disposal of wastewater generated from their operations.

While oil palm processing is viewed as more lucrative than fruit production, the (in)ability to do so depends on a number of structural and individual/household level factors.
Through our column, we will cover a wide range of topics ranging from the production process to quality control. Our team of experts will provide you with all the information you need to refine crude palm oil into a high-quality product that meets the dem
- Are small-scale palm oil processing mills causing environmental problems in Ghana?
- The environmental impact of small-scale palm oil processing mills in Ghana has come under serious questioning, especially the disposal of wastewater generated from their operations.
- 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.
- How many palm oil mills are there in Ghana?
- Available data shows that there were more than 1200 small-scale mills in Ghana [ 11] producing 60¨C80% of the national palm oil production [ 2, 15 ]. By 2015, the small-scale industry was employing over 2 million people [ 4] mostly in rural areas. 2. The problem and contribution of the chapter
- How is palm oil processed in Ghana?
- Palm oil is processed from fresh fruits using various techniques that differ in the level of mechanization and interconnecting material transfer mechanisms. The scale of operations also differs at the level of processing. Palm oil processing in Ghana (like other West African countries) is undertaken by four (4) distinct groups of actors [ 10 ].
- Do palm oil processing mills need a permit in Ghana?
- Palm oil processing mills (small-, medium- and large-scale) are required under Regulation 1 of the Ghana Environmental Assessment Regulations, 1999 (LI 1652) to register with and obtain environmental permit from the Ghana Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prior to the commencement of the undertaking.
- Are wastewater treatment technologies applicable to small-scale palm oil processing mills in Ghana?
- Additional studies are needed in other palm oil production regions of Ghana to generate national-level data. This will guide the development of a compendium of wastewater treatment technologies applicable to small-scale processing mills in Ghana. The authors have no conflicts of interest to declare that are relevant to the content of this article.
