The Gambia furthers oil exploration through progressive
Recently exceeding the $2 billion mark, the west African country’s economy is set to grow by a further 5.1% this year. Amidst this newfound prosperity, petroleum industry laws and regulations
“As indicated earlier, Gambia is not producing oil hence will continue to import oil for domestic use in the short and medium term. However, as part of the long term local content and value addition drive and given the strategic location of the country, we intend to process and add value for local consumptions as well as export.”
Red gold: the rise and fall of West Africa’s palm oil empire
Ever larger quantities of palm oil – increasing from 157 metric tonnes per year in the late 1790s to 32,480 tonnes by the early 1850s – were brought to the UK by small-scale West African
Between 2015 and 2021, a total of USD 9.6 billion worth of loans and underwriting services were identified for five out of the 11 leakage refiners on our list. Salim Group received the largest amount of financing at USD 5.7 billion, followed by PTPN with USD 2.1 billion and Tunas Baru Lampung with USD 1.6 billion.

Crude, degummed bleached, or fully refined palm kernel oils can be processed with this technology ( Calliauw et al., 2005) ( Table 12-M ). The saturated fatty acid content is increased from ∼80% in the palm kernel oil to 93–96% in the palm kernel stearins; the lauric and myristic fatty acid contents go up to 80%.
Palm Oil and Palm Kernel Oil Refining and Fractionation
Palm olein is a resulting liquid fraction from fractionation of palm oil with a relatively high oleic acid content of about 41.5–47.7 % and is more cost-effective compared to commercial oleic acid as a high proportion of palm olein can be obtained in one single step of fractionation (Derawi et al., 2014; Gibon, 2012; Tarmizi and Ismail, 2008).
Palm oil production reached 4.15 kt in 2021 in Gambia, according to Faostat. This is 0.003% more than in the previous year. Historically, palm oil production in Gambia reached an all time high of 4.20 kt in 2018 and an all time low of 1.60 kt in 1963. Gambia has been ranked 37th within the group of 42 countries we follow in terms of palm oil
