A Cleaner Palm Oil Production | United Nations in Ghana
As noted by Makafui, though Ghana’s palm oil production is said to have increased over the decades, the country is a net importer of palm oil. In 2021, the value of palm oil imported by Ghana was $289million as against an export value of $78.1million. This calls for urgent attention to address the challenges in the sector.
From analysis of palm oil production and consumption in Ghana between the year 2005 and 2010, Angelucci reported that the country produced a total of 120,000 tonnes of palm oil. As at 2021, the country’s crude palm oil production had increased to 375,000 tonnes [ 6 ], doubling the production in a decade.
Masterplan Study on the Oil Palm Industry in Ghana
Palm oil production, based on small-scale production, was a leading foreign exchange earner for Ghana from about the mid-nineteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth century. The then colonial government believed that the indigenous small-scale farming system was more resilient economically than exotic, large plantations and, as a
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.
Best management practices for sustainable oil palm production

Oil palm production must increase in Ghana to meet the increasing demand for palm oil and avoid costly imports. Although maximum fruit bunch (FB) yields of>20tha −1yr are achievable, average FB yields in Ghana are only 7tha−1 yr−1. Despite the pressing need to increase palm oil production and improve yields,
CHALLENGES AND PROSPECTS OF GHANAIAN PALM OIL DEVELOPMENT AND THE ROLE
Concerns surrounding the social and environmental impacts of palm oil production have resulted in both promises and issues relating to legitimate management practices. The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) surfaced in 2004 as a pioneer in the sustainable palm oil industry, advocating for transparent supply chains and smallholder
This included efforts to incentivise estate production with the Oil Palm Ordinance of 1912, which allowed the government to award processing rights to all fruits produced within 16 km of a mill, and an arrangement under the 1929 General Scheme for Subsiding Palm Oil Factories, which subsidised large mills if fruits fell below five-sixths of processing capacity (Gyasi 1992).
Bioenergy in the Palm Oil Processing Sector in Ghana
(BOPP), Norwegian Oil Palm Ghana (NorPalm), Twifo Oil Palm Plantation (TOPP), Juaben Oil Mills (JOM) and Plantations SOCFINAF Ghana (PSG). SECTOR OVERVIEW African oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) has been a major edible oil source and one of the most important crops in West Africa for centuries. The most suitable areas for oil palm in Ghana are in the
However, yield gaps in oil palm production were large and ubiquitous in Ghana. Using a boundary line analysis, the water-limited yield (Yw) over a planting cycle was estimated at 21 t ha-1 yr-1 FB, with yield gaps of 15.4 t ha-1 yr-1 FB at smallholder farms and 9.8 t ha-1 yr-1 FB at plantations. Poor management practices, including incomplete
