Can small-scale palm oil production reduce deforestation?

Our results indicate that an improved small-scale palm oil production system, including agroforestry or mixed cropping and general intensification of plant maintenance, may increase yields without putting additional pressure on natural forests¡ªa step towards ensuring palm oil is produced in a supply chain that avoids deforestation.

What percentage of palm oil is produced by small-scale producers?

... Though small-scale producers are characterized by weak milling capacity (Kajisa et al. 1997;Uckert et al. 2015), they occupy a large share of the West African palm oil processing sector, accounting for up to 83% of palm oil production.

How much palm oil is produced per hour?

In terms of throughput, small-scale processing units handle up to 2 tonnes per hour of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) [10,11]. The medium-scale and large-scale mills have technologically up-to-date machinery, established by agro-industrial complexes for the production of palm oil with production throughput of up to 60 tonnes of FFB per hour.

Do small-scale palm oil producers have a weak milling capacity?

Though small-scale producers are characterized by weak milling capacity (Kajisa et al. 1997;Uckert et al. 2015), they occupy a large share of the West African palm oil processing sector, accounting for up to 83% of palm oil production. (Hassan et al. 2016).
