  • Can palm oil from Zambia cut back on crude oil imports?
  • The plantation boasts 2,800 hectares of palm plants, which when harvested will produce crude palm oil that is the basic ingredient in most vegetable oils on the market in Zambia. The locally produced palm oil will enable government to cut back on crude palm oil imports which currently stand at over US$70 million annually.
  • Is Zambia suitable for growing palm oil?
  • Although Zambia is not a traditional growing region for palm oil, it offers a competitive advantage due to its proximity to consumers in the region.
