  • How much oil does a palm plantation produce?
  • One hectare of oil palm plantation is able to produce up to 10 times more oil than other leading oilseed crops. Palm fruit produces two distinct types of oils: crude palm oil (CPO) from the mesocarp and palm kernel oil (PKO) from the inside kernel (Gourichon, 2013, Robbelen, 1990).
  • How much FFB does a palm oil plant handle?
  • Large-scale plants, featuring all stages required to produce palm oil to international standards, are generally handling from 3 to 60 tonnes of FFB/hr. The large installations have mechanical handling systems (bucket and screw conveyers, pumps and pipelines) and operate continuously, depending on the availability of FFB.
  • How can we meet global palm oil demand sustainably?
  • To meet the rising global palm oil demand sustainably, we tracked annual land cover changes in oil palm plantation and mapped areas worldwide suitable for sustainable oil palm cultivation. From 1982 to 2019, 3.6 Mha of forests were converted to oil palm plantations.
  • Where is palm oil produced?
  • Currently, palm oil is primarily produced in Southeast Asia, with Indonesia and Malaysia account for approximately 84% of the world¡¯s production (USDA 2019). According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the demand for palm oil is anticipated to hit 156 million tonnes by 2050 (Officer 2016).
  • What is the distribution of oil palm in Indonesia and Malaysia?
  • Koh et al. (2011), who mapped the distribution of oil palm in Indonesia and Malaysia using the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and Phased Array L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (PALSAR) archives, found that by the early 2000s, approximately 6% of peatland in this region had been converted for oil palm plantations.
  • How big is the palm oil industry in 2021?
  • The palm oil sector grew to a market value exceeding USD 50 billion in 2021 and is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of at least 4%, reaching USD 65 billion by 2027 (Research and Markets, 2022). More than 7 million smallholders globally cultivate oil palm as their main form of livelihood (RSPO, 2022b).
