• Can enzymatic biotechnology improve palm oil production?
  • By effectively breaking down the cell walls of palm fruit, enzymes boost oil extraction efficiency without compromising the quality of crude palm oil. Several palm oil companies have either experimented with or fully adopted enzymatic biotechnology, resulting in a noteworthy increase in oil production [8, 9].
  • What is the palm oil value chain?
  • The palm oil value chain comprises distinct segments (Figure 1), commencing with the upstream sector involving activities such as oil palm plantation, palm oil milling, and kernel crushing plants. Further down the supply chain, the midstream processing facilities include palm oil refineries.

  • How big is palm oil production?
  • Consequently, global palm oil production has experienced substantial growth, surging from 24 million tons (t) in 2000¨C2001 to an impressive 78 million t in 2021¨C2022 . Projections further suggest that palm oil production is set to reach 156 million tons by 2050, underscoring its pivotal role in meeting escalating global demand.
  • How is palm oil processed?
  • The final product, crude palm oil, is pumped into a storage tank before being sent to refineries for further processing. The heavier phase or underflow from the vertical settling tank, often referred to as sludge, is discharged from the bottom and directed to a sludge tank before undergoing desanding.
  • Why is the palm oil industry growing so fast?
  • The palm oil industry has undergone remarkable expansion, primarily driven by factors, such as the rapid growth of the global population and increased per capita consumption. Consequently, global palm oil production has experienced substantial growth, surging from 24 million tons (t) in 2000¨C2001 to an impressive 78 million t in 2021¨C2022 .
