  • Who produces the most palm oil in Ghana?
  • Artisanal and small-scale palm oil producers occupy a greater share of Ghana’s palm oil processing industry, producing 60?80% of the country’s palm oil. However, the processing systems used by the palm oil producers are mainly the traditional metal cooking pots and steel tanks.
  • Do small-scale palm oil processing units in Ghana have a weak milling capacity?
  • Other centres do not even have milling machines. The women rely on primitive ways or travel long distances within the district to mill their palm fruit. This infrastructural challenge confirms the work of Angelucci ( 2013) that shows small-scale palm oil processing units in Ghana have weak milling capacity.
  • How many oil palm trees are there in Ghana?
  • GOPDC has about 21,000 hectares of oil palm plantations at its Kwae and Okumaning estates in the Eastern Region of Ghana, of which, about 13,000 ha have been developed for about 6,000 outgrowers. In total, there are over 1,860,000 oil palm trees spread over a radius of 30 km, creating a direct or indirect income for above 50,000 people.
  • Does Ghana import palm oil?
  • As noted by Makafui, though Ghana’s palm oil production is said to have increased over the decades, the country is a net importer of palm oil. In 2021, the value of palm oil imported by Ghana was $289million as against an export value of $78.1million. This calls for urgent attention to address the challenges in the sector.
