  • How is palm oil produced?
  • Palm oil is produced by processing oil palm fresh fruit bunch (FFB), which leads to the generation of FFB solid wastes. Notable FFB solid wastes are empty fruit bunch (EFB), mesocarp fibre (MF), and palm kernel shell (PKS) while palm oil mill effluent is the liquid wastes ( Fig. 1 ).
  • How palm oil is extracted from FFB in Malaysia?
  • Palm oil is extracted from the FFB by mechanical processes. Solvent extraction is also possible but it introduces another issue of food safety due to solvent as an extractor and hence not commonly practised in Malaysia. The flow diagram of the processing steps in a palm oil mill is shown in Figure 1.
  • How much palm oil is produced in Malaysia?
  • Currently, Malaysia has a total of 451 mills that produce about 19.52 million tonnes of CPO and 4.86 million tonnes of palm kernel (Kushairi et al., 2019). The capacity of the mills varies from 30-90 t fresh fruit bunch (FFB) hr-1, but a few of them may exceed this range up to 100 t hr-1. Palm oil is extracted from the FFB by mechanical processes.
  • Does oil palm production have a water footprint?
  • Water accounting across the production of fresh fruit bunch (FFB) in the oil palm¡¯s life cycle is gaining momentum arising from the importance placed on the need to quantify water footprint (WF). This article quantifies the WF of FFB production from oil palms grown in some areas in Malaysia, from an inventory data gathered from 2009-2012.
