  • How much palm oil can be produced in Ghana?
  • If all crop is processed at an oil extraction rate of 21 %, approximately 1.3 Mt crude palm oil can be produced (worth almost 1 billion US$ at US$750 t ?1 crude palm oil). This is more than enough to meet Ghana¡¯s current annual demand of 106,000 t crude palm oil, and does not require the need to plant additional land (Rhebergen et al., 2018).
  • How can a smallholder sector improve oil palm production in Ghana?
  • Increasing fruit supply by organizing the expanding smallholder sector and implementing yield intensification strategies (BMPs) on existing plantings is largely an unexploited potential for the sustainable intensification of oil palm production in Ghana, and is essential to move the industry forward in a sustainable manner.
  • Does area expansion increase the production of palm oil in Ghana?
  • Most of the increases in the production of palm oil in Ghana have been achieved through area expansion (Rhebergen et al., 2018). By contrast, increasing yields with BMP offers scope to reduce the requirement for future area expansion to meet the increasing demand for palm oil (preferably if tenera planting material is used).
  • How to increase oil palm yields in Ghana?
  • Best management practices close yield gaps in mature oil palm in Ghana. Short-term yield increases are achieved through improved crop recovery. Improving crop recovery provides the finance needed for inputs to increase yields. Improved fertilizer recommendations are essential to increase yields in Ghana.
  • Is palm oil certification effective in Ghana?
  • While there is extensive research on palm oil certification schemes in countries like Malaysia and Indonesia, there is limited research on palm oil certification schemes in Ghana.
  • 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.
