  • Is crude palm oil extraction a source of livelihood in Ghana?
  • Crude palm oil extraction is one of the sources of livelihood in Ghana’s Central Region. However, the water use and wastewater generation associated with the industry have not been given adequate attention. This study assessed the water consumption and wastewater generation by small-scale crude palm oil extraction mills in the region.
  • Are wastewater treatment technologies applicable to small-scale palm oil processing mills in Ghana?
  • Additional studies are needed in other palm oil production regions of Ghana to generate national-level data. This will guide the development of a compendium of wastewater treatment technologies applicable to small-scale processing mills in Ghana. The authors have no conflicts of interest to declare that are relevant to the content of this article.
  • Are small-scale palm oil processing mills causing environmental problems in Ghana?
  • The environmental impact of small-scale palm oil processing mills in Ghana has come under serious questioning, especially the disposal of wastewater generated from their operations.
  • How big is the palm oil industry in Ghana?
  • Using a per capita BOD loading of 54 gBOD/day (Von Sperling 2007) and average daily wastewater production of 474 l for small-scale palm oil processing mills in Ghana, the population equivalent (PE) for the small-scale industry is about 200 inhabitants.
