  • What are the economic benefits of palm oil in Sri Lanka?
  • Could you shed some light on the economic aspects highlighted in the study and the potential benefits to the country? Certainly, the study demonstrates that the palm oil industry in Sri Lanka currently saves approximately USD 17 million annually in foreign exchange outflows and meets around 6% of the domestic edible oil demand.
  • Why has Sri Lanka banned palm oil production?
  • Yet, despite a wide range of virtues, the Sri Lankan government has decided to ban palm oil production, ordering replacement of oil palm trees with rubber plantations, on grounds of unfavorable environmental and social impacts.
  • Does oil palm replace forest in Sri Lanka?
  • In Sri Lanka, oil palm does not replace forest but other plantation crops, primarily rubber and coconut. Therefore, its biodiversity performance needs to be compared with these crops, and as found in various studies, the differences in biodiversity between oil palm, rubber, tea and coconut plantations are neither significant nor conclusive.
  • Can Sri Lanka meet local edible oil demand without imports?
  • Meeting the local edible oil demand in Sri Lanka is indeed a challenge without imports. Nearly 74% of the demand is met through imports. Local palm oil supplies 6% and the rest is through local coconut oil, which varies with annual coconut production.
