  • 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.
  • What type of palm oil is produced 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 current processing systems used by the palm oil producers are mainly the traditional metal cooking pots and steel tanks.
  • 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.
  • 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
  • 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.
  • Can small scale palm oil processing be used in West and Central Africa?
  • Sophisticated large scale technologies, on the other hand, are generally beyond the financial reach of the rural population. The present review aims at throwing more light on a third option: small scale or intermediate technologies for palm oil processing in West and Central Africa.
