  • 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.
  • Are palm oil processing mills disposed of wastewater?
  • The data in this chapter was obtained from a survey of selected small-scale palm oil processing mills in Ghana, laboratory analysis of wastewater samples from processing mills and review of related literature. Wastewater generated from the processing activities is currently disposed of without any form of treatment.
  • Is crude palm oil extraction a source of livelihood in Ghana?
  • Crude palm oil extraction is one of the sources of livelihood in Ghana's Central Region. However, the water use and wastewater generation associated with the industry have not been given adequate attention. This study assessed the water consumption and wastewater generation by small-scale crude palm oil extraction mills in the region.
  • How much palm oil does Ghana produce?
  • In 2009, Ghana produced about 2,103,600 metric tons (MT) of oil palm fruit bunches and 130,000 MT of palm oil . Small-scale processors produce about 60% of the country's palm oil .
  • Will a new oil palm mill improve productivity & income?
  • While the traditional methods of processing oil palm were ineffective and inefficient, the newly rebuilt mill will improve productivity and incomes, while also contributing to the livelihoods of nearby residents who depend on the mill to support their families.
  • Can small-scale oil palm processors produce good quality crude oil?
  • When supported through training and provision of efficient processing equipment the small-scale oil palm processors can produce good quality crude palm oil to meet the demand of the local industry. However, the government's policy has been to support smallholder outgrower schemes attached to large and medium scale processing mills.
