The story of palm oil is less about it as an isolated commodity, but more about the story of the rising demand for vegetable oils.
  • Where is oil palm grown?
  • Oil palm is a tropical plant species. It thrives on high rainfall, adequate sunlight and humid conditions ? this means the best growing areas are along a narrow band around the equator. 4 Palm oil is therefore grown in many countries across Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia. In the map we see the distribution of production across the world.
  • How has palm oil changed over the past 50 years?
  • Palm oil production has increased rapidly over the past 50 years. In 1970, the world was producing only 2 million tonnes. This is now 35 times higher: in 2018 the world produced 71 million tonnes. The change in global production is shown in the chart. 3 The rise of palm oil follows the rapid increase in demand for vegetable oils more broadly.
