Challenges and Opportunities of Oil Palm Production in Uganda
Oil palm, a lucrative vegetable oil crop in the world, showed promising adaptability to some agroecologies in Uganda from studies carried out in the 1970s resulting in first commercial establishment in 2005 in Bugala Island, Kalangala district. Further, adaptability studies continue to reveal suitable areas for commercial oil palm production in the country. The infant industry faces an array
of Uganda in developing palm oil for import substitution, and the fact that production from even poor yielding oil palm substantially exceeds that from a similar area of annual oilseed crops. The best area for cultivation of oil palm in Uganda was found to be the Lake Victoria islands, notably the Ssese Islands (IFAD, 1997).
Opportunities and Challenges in Uganda’s Vegetable Oil Industry
The trade value of crude palm oil in 2015 was US$149 million. Data from VODP indicates that in 2015 palm oil production was approximately 23,000 tonnes representing a mean growth in production of 37% from 2010. However imports of crude palm oil from South East Asia have also risen along with the increased production of palm oil.
This version of the report is a digest of key facts about Uganda’s oil palm industry at the national level, and a specific case of the industry in the mid-western sub-region. The oil palm is a cash crop that forms a major component of vegetable oil in Uganda. Overall, vegetable oil is among the ten priority selected commodities in Uganda’s

The introduction of the National Oil Palm Project has also led to a steady increase in the prices of Palm oil fruits from Shs468 a kilogram of the Palm Oil fruits in November 2019 to Shs533
Oil palm, currently the world’s main vegetable oil crop, is characterised by a large productivity and a long life span (≥25 years). Peak oil yields of 12tha yr have been achieved

The crop is a source of vegetable oil yielding about 2.08 t ha-1 more oil when compared to other oil crops (Terzi et al., 2018) and it contributes 31% of the world’s vegetable oils produced

estate run by Oil Palm Uganda Limited (OPUL), and 4,424 hectares by smallholder outgrowers (land owned by individuals). The 6500 hectares were part of public land under the administration of Kalangala District Land Board, subsequently acquired by the Uganda Land Commission, granting leaseholds to Oil Palm Uganda Ltd.
Bidco Uganda is a joint venture formed between Wilmar International, Josovina Commodities and Bidco Oil Refineries, a Kenya-based company. Wilmar International holds at least 39% of the shares of the joint venture. The project has also received $12 million in financing from the Government of Uganda and $20 million from IFAD.3.
- Are new areas suitable for oil palm production in Uganda?
- But with increasing demand for vegetable oils in Uganda more areas for oil palm production are required. A study was conducted to identify new areas suitable for oil palm production. The experiment was super-imposed on 45 × 45 m plots in 3-year old oil palm plantations in Bugiri, Buvuma, Kibaale and Masaka.
- What is oil palm research in Uganda?
- Oil palm research in Uganda is spearheaded by the National Crop Resources Research Institute, NaCRRI. It is funded by the government of Uganda and International Fund for Agricultural Development, IFAD through the National Oil Palm Project, NOPP under the Ministry of Agriculture Animal Industry and Fisheries, MAAIF.
- Why is oil palm a problem in Uganda?
- In Uganda, oil palm faces significant challenges from various pests and diseases. The major problems are Fusarium wilt of oil palm and Basal stem rot. Oil palm is prone to infestation by these issues at different stages of growth respective of the growth location.
- Should Uganda develop palm oil for import substitution?
- As such, there is growing interest by the Government of Uganda in developing palm oil for import substitution, and the fact that production from even poor yielding oil palm substantially exceeds that from a similar area of annual oilseed crops.
