  • What is the market for edible oil in Zambia?
  • The market for edible oils in Zambia, of which palm oil is one component, is estimated at 120,000 tonnes per year, and this is expected to continue growing as the country develops further. More than half of Zambia’s edible oil consumption is imported from the Far East, East Africa and South Africa.
  • Where is oil produced in Zambia?
  • The oil is then refined at the INDENI Refinery in Ndola (Copperbelt Province), with a current capacity of 850,000 metric tons per year, which is jointly owned by the Government of Zambia and an international oil company, Total Outre Mer.
  • How are petroleum products transported in Zambia?
  • Transportation of petroleum products is an important component of the petroleum supply chain in Zambia. Most of the petroleum products are transported inland through roads except in isolated cases where the rail line is used. As at 30th June 2014, there were 441 road tankers licensed to transport petroleum products.
  • Is Zambia a good place to grow palm oil?
  • While Zambia is not a traditional growing region for palm oil, lower yields are expected to be outweighed by the competitive advantage of being closer to consumers in the region given that the cost of importing edible oil from the Far East can account for around a third of its retail price.
