  • What is vegetable oil development project (vodp)?
  • The Vegetable Oil Development Project (VODP) oil palm sub-project was promoted by Oil Palm Uganda Ltd. (OPUL) through a public-private partnership with BIDCO Uganda Ltd. Arrangements were made to build a new industry, establishing a nucleus estate of 6500 ha with 3500 ha for out growers in Kalangala district.
  • Where does Uganda get its oil from?
  • In Uganda, half of the oil-seed production meets the demand, while the other half is mainly from crude palm oil imports. Both the locally produced and imported crude palm oil are refined into vegetable oil or used in the manufacture of soaps and detergents.
  • Where is oil palm grown in Uganda?
  • The best area for cultivation of oil palm in Uganda was found to be the Lake Victoria islands, notably the Ssese Islands (IFAD, 1997). Since 1998, the Government of Uganda has invested in domestic production and processing of vegetable oils to meet the increasing national demand.
  • How did the project contribute to the development of vegetable oil?
  • The project contributed to the establishment of a Vegetable Oil Development Fund for investment in production and cooperated with the Government to create the Vegetable Oil Development Council, a consultative body.
