  • Is palm olein tainted in Nigeria?
  • Presently, crude palm oil is imported for refining in Nigeria, although some quantities of refined bleached and deodorized palm olein are being disguised as crude palm oil and acid oils. Sometimes RBD palm olein is tainted with about 0.03% of crude palm olein and imported into the country as crude palm oil.
  • How is palm oil produced in Nigeria?
  • The NIFOR and other small/medium scale fabricated equipment are employed by processors who account for more than 60% of palm oil produced in Nigeria. The following process description is for a 20 tonne per hour fresh fruit bunch mill. The bunches are collected from the fields and delivered to the mill in tipping trucks and tractors with trailers.
  • What is a unique feature of the Nigerian vegetable oil market?
  • A unique feature of the Nigerian vegetable oil market is a household product in which palm oil and palm kernel oil are blended at ratios 20:80 to 40:60. This product evolution arose from the need to reduce production cost because palm oil is always cheaper than palm kernel oil in the Nigerian market.
  • How much palm oil is consumed in Nigeria?
  • Palm oil and palm kernel contribute about 65% to the total vegetable oils and fats consumed in Nigeria. This implies that palm oil and palm kernel oil demand and supply is 1,279,525 tonnes and 739,427 tonnes, respectively, leaving a gap of 540,098 tonnes annually.
  • Why was unfractionated refined palm oil not marketable in Nigeria?
  • Unfractionated refined palm oil was not marketable to industrial end users in Nigeria hence the boom in the smuggling of refined bleached and deodorized palm olein from Malaysia and Singapore and the extraction of palm kernel oil for household frying.
  • Why is palm kernel oil so popular in Nigeria?
  • The Nigerian vegetable oil market uniquely features palm kernel oil packaged for household and commercial food frying. More than 60% of refineries in Nigeria are built on palm kernel oil as raw materials. This is because processing of palm kernel oil involves degumming, bleaching, deodorization, cooling, and packaging.
