  • Is Pakistan a palm oil producer?
  • KARACHI: Pakistan’s southeastern Sindh province has successfully completed a pilot oil palm cultivation and extraction project, putting the country on the list of palm oil producers. An oil extraction facility at the site of the pilot oil palm plantation in the province’s southern Thatta district produced its first oil last week.
  • Why does Pakistan import palm oil?
  • Palm oil is Pakistan’s largest food import item with a 30 percent share in agro imports and the country’s second-biggest import after petroleum. The bulk imports are a consequence of Pakistan’s increasing per capita consumption of edible oil, and the inability to produce adequate quantities of edible oil domestically.
  • Is palm oil a burden for Pakistan?
  • Thus, palm oil can be a burden for Pakistan if imported without intervention on an international level and can be a breather if the crude palm is imported and utilized effectively to meet the edible oil requirements until Pakistan becomes self-sufficient in oilseed production and solvent extraction.
  • Is palm oil extraction a good idea in Sindh?
  • “The palm oil extraction is being done as a test run at the moment and the results are wonderful and very encouraging,” Muhammad Aslam Ghouri, secretary of Sindh’s Environment, Climate Change and Coastal Development which is running the project, told Arab News on Friday.
