Can small scale palm oil processing be used in West and Central Africa?

Sophisticated large scale technologies, on the other hand, are generally beyond the financial reach of the rural population. The present review aims at throwing more light on a third option: small scale or intermediate technologies for palm oil processing in West and Central Africa.

How is palm oil extracted?

The extraction of palm oil from oil palm fruits is practiced in many countries in Africa. The technologies for these processes are, in most cases, either still traditional or very modern. Traditional technologies usually have the advantage of requiring low investments, but are labour-intensive, inefficient and time-consuming.

What are the advantages of palm oil processing equipment?

Outstanding examples Research (NIFOR). Orewa et al (2009) reports an increase in processing efficiency by this equipment, from 45-60% to 80-85%. The major advantage of these equipment is that they enable the processing of fresh fruit bunches immediately after harvest. This assure s a high quality of the palm oil produced.

How can we improve the processing of palm oil?

processing technologies. The governments of West and Central African countries could think of a research post-harvest and processing equipment and technologies. A possible easy way of doing this in the palm oil improved local facilities for the processing of FFBs at the small-scale level. This will demand that adequate
