  • How is edible oil extracted?
  • In a typical edible oil processing plant, oil is extracted from the seed first using mechanical extraction (expeller press) followed by chemical extraction (hexane extraction). By using both methods, less than 1% of the oil is left in the meal that is produced. The majority of this meal is sold for use in animal feed rations.
  • What is rural oil extraction?
  • Rural oil extraction usually occurs near the areas of raw material production. This provides the smallscale processor with access to raw materials, helps to ensure that perishable oil crops are processed quickly, and reduces transport costs.
  • How do policy makers contribute to Africa's vegetable oil industry?
  • Policy makers are well positioned to bring together farmers, processors, exporters, input suppliers and distributers in Africa’s vegetable oil industry. The foundation of the value chain (farmers and oil processors) need to be aware of market demands to justify scaled-up production.
  • Is vegetable oil production increasing in Africa?
  • Despite this opportunity, vegetable oil production is increasing slowly in Africa, by 2.1% annually from 2000–2003 compared to 10.7% in Latin America, 4.5% in Asia and 4.2% in Europe for the same period.
  • Where can I find information about biodiesel & Jatropha?

Well known domesticated oil species are comprehensively documented and information is widely available on appropriate technologies for their cultivation and oil processing.
  • What is global vegetable oil production & use?
  • Global vegetable oil production and use Annual global vegetable oil production (edible and non-edible) has increased over 6-fold from 25 MT in 1975 to 152 MT in 2011. In 2010, global oil production was split between food and non-food (i.e. feed, fuel, and oleochemicals) use in the ratio 77.5 to 22.5.
