  • How can Malaysia improve the oil extraction rate?
  • One strategy is to improve the oil extraction rate (OER) during the milling process. The average OER in Malaysia has remained stagnant between 19 and 21% for the past 40 years. Based on the world production of palm oil in 2018, approximately 3 million tonnes of additional palm oil can be produced globally with a 1% increase in OER.
  • What factors affect oil palm oil extraction efficiency (OER)?
  • The OER can be affected by many factors: the oil content in oil palm fruitlets, the age of the oil palm tree, the soil conditions, the climate, the harvesting practices, the quality of the harvested fruitlets and the oil extraction efficiency in the mills.
  • How to improve the productivity of palm oil?
  • This study focuses on improving the productivity of palm oil through improved harvesting and grading of FFB to achieve high yield and OER. Improving the harvesting interval can enhance FFB yield by ensuring optimal maturity of the oil palm fruit, which directly impacts the quality of palm oil (Albakri et al., 2019).
  • How to improve the sustainability of palm oil production in Malaysia?
  • Presently, tremendous efforts have been devoted to improving the sustainability of palm oil production. One strategy is to improve the oil extraction rate (OER) during the milling process. The average OER in Malaysia has remained stagnant between 19 and 21% for the past 40 years.
  • Does palm oil milling improve OER?
  • Based on the world production of palm oil in 2018, approximately 3 million tonnes of additional palm oil can be produced globally with a 1% increase in OER. In this paper, the current status of the palm oil milling process and the factors affecting the OER are discussed. Subsequently, the methods to improve the OER are reviewed.
  • How is the efficiency of palm oil mills evaluated?
  • Similarly, the efficiency of mills in terms of their ability to extract starch or sugar can be evaluated if the quality of the product entering the mills is known. In oil palm, the FFB received at palm oil mills is graded for ripeness and other criteria that may affect the milling process and oil extraction rate (OER).
