How is palm oil produced in Africa?

Palm oil production in Africa and especially in Tanzania is dominated by small-scale subsistence farming systems that are characterised by low productivity and low yields, even in regions with the most suitable cultivation conditions.

How many litres of oil a year does a palm plant produce?

Similar low productivity levels have been reported for oil palm in Kigoma and Mbeya, whereby under current farming conditions one Dura plant yields 7-8 litres of palm oil/year; and, a plant of Tenera yields 28 litres/year. As for avocados, there is no single company in Tanzania which processes avocados to produce edible oils.

Two other oil palm projects identified by IIED¡¯s report are Tanzania Biodiesel Plant Ltd, with 16,000 hectares acquired in Bagamoyo and InfEnergy Co. Ltd, with 5,818 hectares located in Kilombero.

Does small-scale palm oil production in Kigoma retain the character of local adapted farming?
