  • 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.
  • Is small-scale palm oil processing feasible in Nigeria?
  • Palm oil is a major food and non-food ingredient consumed by virtually everyone in Nigeria through the use of palm oil related products. This study investigates the feasibility of small-scale palm oil processing in Nigeria, using Elele, Rivers State as case study. Information was elicited through interviews and physical observations.
  • 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.
  • Can Nigeria improve palm oil production?
  • About 80 per cent of palm oil production in the country comes from dispersed smallholder farmers. Given the right capacity building, Nigeria can improve palm oil production. Solidaridad has been working with farmers and national stakeholders to contribute to this prospect. Sunday Oyama Odong, programme participant from Cross River state
