  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Who pays for the oil palm project in Uganda?
  • This cost is split between IFAD, Government of Uganda (GOU), Farmers contributions, Kalangala Oil Palm Growers Trust (KOPGT), Oil Palm Uganda Limited (OPUL) and SNV. The bulk of the funding has gone towards the oil palm project, aimed at planting 40,000 hectares of oil palm. A relatively smaller proportion has gone towards other oilseeds.
  • 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.
