  • Is crude palm oil extraction a source of livelihood in Ghana?
  • Crude palm oil extraction is one of the sources of livelihood in Ghana's Central Region. However, the water use and wastewater generation associated with the industry have not been given adequate attention. This study assessed the water consumption and wastewater generation by small-scale crude palm oil extraction mills in the region.
  • How to increase oil palm yields in Ghana?
  • Best management practices close yield gaps in mature oil palm in Ghana. Short-term yield increases are achieved through improved crop recovery. Improving crop recovery provides the finance needed for inputs to increase yields. Improved fertilizer recommendations are essential to increase yields in Ghana.
  • Are small-scale palm oil processing mills causing environmental problems in Ghana?
  • 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.
  • Who produces the most palm oil in Ghana?
  • Artisanal and small-scale palm oil producers occupy a greater share of Ghana¡¯s palm oil processing industry, producing 60¨C80% of the country¡¯s palm oil. However, the processing systems used by the palm oil producers are mainly the traditional metal cooking pots and steel tanks.
  • Are wastewater treatment technologies applicable to small-scale palm oil processing mills in Ghana?
  • Additional studies are needed in other palm oil production regions of Ghana to generate national-level data. This will guide the development of a compendium of wastewater treatment technologies applicable to small-scale processing mills in Ghana. The authors have no conflicts of interest to declare that are relevant to the content of this article.
  • How is palm oil processed in Ghana?
  • Palm oil is processed from fresh fruits using various techniques that differ in the level of mechanization and interconnecting material transfer mechanisms. The scale of operations also differs at the level of processing. Palm oil processing in Ghana (like other West African countries) is undertaken by four (4) distinct groups of actors [ 10 ].
