  • 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.
  • Why is palm oil a problem in Ghana?
  • A large percentage of the palm oil produced by small-scale processors cannot be utilized by the larger scale industries in Ghana or abroad because of its poor quality. There is an urgent need to explore the causes and to identify ways to address the situation.
  • How much palm oil does Ghana produce?
  • In 2009, Ghana produced about 2,103,600 metric tons (MT) of oil palm fruit bunches and 130,000 MT of palm oil . Small-scale processors produce about 60% of the country’s palm oil .
  • How is palm oil extracted?
  • This is followed by the extraction of the palm oil by men, by pressing the hot, pounded fruits that are confined in a metal press cage. Clarification is in principle the last stage of processing. It is usually omitted in order to reduce operational costs.
