  • 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.
  • 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.
  • How is oil palm production organized in Ghana?
  • The oil palm production in Ghana is organized along three main systems: (a) a nucleus-smallholder system (approximately 2 percent of all smallholders); (b) outgrower farmers (approximately 28 percent of all smallholders); and (c) independent smallholder farmers (private farmers, approximately 70 percent of all smallholders).
  • 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.
  • Do palm oil processing mills need a permit in Ghana?
  • Palm oil processing mills (small-, medium- and large-scale) are required under Regulation 1 of the Ghana Environmental Assessment Regulations, 1999 (LI 1652) to register with and obtain environmental permit from the Ghana Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prior to the commencement of the undertaking.
  • Does palm oil take precedence over Kernel processing in Ghana?
  • In Ghana, the production of the palm oil, takes precedence over the kernel processing, just as in many other places; and the two processes are not necessarily carried out by the same processor or at the same premi se. 1 General methods for processing of oil bearing materials The objectives in most oil extraction processes include: 1.
