  • Why is palm kernel oil so popular in Nigeria?
  • The Nigerian vegetable oil market uniquely features palm kernel oil packaged for household and commercial food frying. More than 60% of refineries in Nigeria are built on palm kernel oil as raw materials. This is because processing of palm kernel oil involves degumming, bleaching, deodorization, cooling, and packaging.
  • Is small-scale palm oil processing feasible in Nigeria?
  • Palm oil is a major food and non-food ingredient consumed by virtually everyone in Nigeria through the use of palm oil related products. This study investigates the feasibility of small-scale palm oil processing in Nigeria, using Elele, Rivers State as case study. Information was elicited through interviews and physical observations.
  • How is palm oil produced in Nigeria?
  • The NIFOR and other small/medium scale fabricated equipment are employed by processors who account for more than 60% of palm oil produced in Nigeria. The following process description is for a 20 tonne per hour fresh fruit bunch mill. The bunches are collected from the fields and delivered to the mill in tipping trucks and tractors with trailers.
  • How has Nigeria's palm oil production changed over the last 10 years?
  • Within the last 10 years, Nigeria’s palm oil production has increased, but the impact is yet to be felt in the country’s local consumption demand and global market ranking order. In the 1950s, Nigeria generated about 43 per cent of the world’s total production. The production satisfied local demand, and the excess was exported.
  • Which oil palm producers are unable to meet Nigeria's supply needs?
  • Large scale producers such Okomu Presco,as well as Presco all in Edo State, Ceat/Risonpalm in Rivers State, Abiapalm Ltd in Abia State, along side a plethora of small scale village based producer using traditional method of oil palm production are unable to fully meet the supply needs of Nigeria.
  • How is palm kernel oil processed?
  • This is because processing of palm kernel oil involves degumming, bleaching, deodorization, cooling, and packaging. This product is liquid at ambient conditions except during the rainy season when the product congeals due to low temperatures (<20°C). Processing of palm oil requires degumming, bleaching, and deodorization followed by fractionation.
