• How does edible oil refining reduce production costs?
  • In edible oil refining, the continuous effort to reduce overall production costs is mainly achieved by increasing plant capacities, installation of mono feedstock plants, and increasing the degree of automation. Over the years, more energy-efficient processes and technologies, resulting in a higher refined oil yield, have gradually been introduced.

  • How does the Congo basin affect zero-deforestation?
  • In the Congo Basin, local. This has implications for zero-deforestation strategies. industrial milling facilities. The vast majority of palm oil mills across manual to fully mechanized systems. As a result, many mills and and private companies. Given the prolific role of non-industrial mill, let alone any company¡¯s jurisdiction (Figure 3).
