PALM OIL BUSINESS ADVANTAGES IN AFRICA

Global palm oil consumption is expected to reach a staggering 200 million tons by 2030, with a projected CAGR of 4%.
Africa holds an estimated 6 million hectares currently dedicated to palm oil cultivation.
By investing in sustainable practices like responsible land use, high-yield cultivation techniques, and fair labor conditions, you can capture the premium market for ethical palm oil products, fetching significantly higher margins.
Working with local communities ensures fair compensation, improved livelihoods, and respect for traditional land rights.
Consider investing in the production of high-value palm oil derivatives like palm fatty acid distillates and palm kernel oil, that come with their own set of applications.
