TRADITIONAL PALM KERNEL OIL PROCESSING IN GHANA PROCESS
collection of oil. The unroasted kernel process rather involves soaking of the unroasted kernel, milling, boiling of meal slurry, aging, collection of oi1y-emulsion, and boiling of the emulsion. The processors involved are mostly women, ranging in age from 20-80 years and are generally with no formal education.
The environmental impact of small-scale palm oil processing mills in Ghana has come under serious questioning, especially the disposal of wastewater generated from their operations. This chapter describes the small-scale palm oil production operations in Ghana to highlight the associated environmental problems arising from the disposal of wastewater and other waste by-products. The chapter
The informal palm oil and kernel processing industry in Ghana
4. The informal palm oil and kernel industry in Ghana. Palm oil and kernel production play a crucial role in supporting livelihoods and food security in Ghana. The oil palm fruit is the most important edible oil crop in Ghana and the whole of the West African region (Suarez et al., Citation 2013; Angelucci F., 2013., Food and Agriculture
“With an upgraded Kramer, our oil extraction rate will be between 12% and 15%; and with the international-standard mini-plant between 20% and 22%.” Putting the paperwork in place. Unmet demand means increased competition for the oil palm fruit in the region, even from the farmers within Mampoma’s network of suppliers.
Setting up a 21st-century palm oil plantation in Ghana
The oil palm tree (Elaeis guineansis Jacq.) is a plant native to Ghana and West Africa. Its production is generally limited to latitudes of approximately ten degrees north and south of the equator and at altitudes below 700 meters with a minimum rainfall of 1600 mm per year. .
The processing of oil from palm fruit results in the production of palm oil and nuts. When cracked, the nuts yield the edible endosperm or palm kernel seed which is rich in energy due to their oil content. Palm kernel seed or nut contains about 46 – 54 percent oil on a dry matter basis, and has a high gross energy content of about 28.9 MJ/kg.

The towns were grouped into three zones based on their location in the district. Otumi and Asuom are within the area of the Ghana Oil Palm Development Company (GOPDC) (a 60-MT capacity, multi-nationally owned agro-industrial processing and refinery plant) in Kwae, where there is very much competition for fresh fruit bunches (FFB).
Oil Palm Processing in Ghana: Hanging In, Stepping Up
In terms of stepping out of oil palm production, there is an emerging trend of farm households of all types cutting their palm oil trees to plant rubber and or cocoa. The farmers are motivated by the fact that rubber and cocoa are more lucrative than oil palm. Additionally, for cocoa especially, the state supports farmers from production to
