Small-Scale Palm Oil Production in Ghana: Practices
The environmental impact of small-scale palm oil processing mills in Ghana has come under serious questioning, especially the disposal of wastewater generated from their operations.
In 2018, Ghana Exim Bank, approved a Medium-Term Loan Facility of GH12 million (US$1.98m) for Central Oil Mills Limited to expand its oil palm plantation, rehabilitate the existing primary crude palm oil processing factory at Jukwa-Mfoum and establishment a brand-new value-addition oil palm processing factory.
Bioenergy in the Palm Oil Processing Sector in Ghana
argest palm oil mills in Ghana have installed combustion-based CHP plants. These plants use solid oil palm residues for generating electricity for their factory operations, administ. ation functions and staf housing, as well as heat for processing palm oil. The remainder of their power requirements are met from grid electricity and back-up di.

It intends increase the competitiveness of the Oil Palm industry in Ghana by strengthening coordination whilst improving management practices, market linkages and fair trade amongst key value chain actors.
Ghana Bright Spot For West Africa Palm Oil, Challenges Remain
We believe that Ghana will be a bright spot for palm oil production growth and investment over our forecast period, although it will maintain a deficit. We forecast Ghana's palm oil production to increase by an average of 4.4% y-o-y from 2021 to 2025, with the growth rate increasing at the end of that period.
The palm oil sector in Ghana has great potential to increase production on the existing 330,000 hectares of oil palm land. Nearly half of this land is owned by smallholder farmers, with low yields caused by poor agronomy, poor farm maintenance, and limited knowledge of best management practices (BMPs).
