Future AgriculturesOil Palm Processing in Ghana: Hanging In,
Oil palm production has been a lifelong activity for many farmers in south-western Ghana. Although oil palm could be harvested throughout the year, production peaks from January to May. Like other crops of this nature,
oil palm expansion is therefore smallholder production, which can make use of smaller parcels of land. Alternatively, oil palm production in Ghana can be increased by yield intensi铿乧ation on land

- 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.
- How can a smallholder sector improve oil palm production in Ghana?
- Increasing fruit supply by organizing the expanding smallholder sector and implementing yield intensification strategies (BMPs) on existing plantings is largely an unexploited potential for the sustainable intensification of oil palm production in Ghana, and is essential to move the industry forward in a sustainable manner.
- How is palm oil processed in Ghana?
- In Ghana, the processing of palm oil is dominated by small-scale producers who employ either traditional or semi-mechanised methods , and all samples tested were collected from manufacturers who follow the same procedures already alluded to, in processing palm oil.
- Does area expansion increase the production of palm oil in Ghana?
- Most of the increases in the production of palm oil in Ghana have been achieved through area expansion (Rhebergen et al., 2018). By contrast, increasing yields with BMP offers scope to reduce the requirement for future area expansion to meet the increasing demand for palm oil (preferably if tenera planting material is used).
- Does mechanization offer potential for the oil palm industry in Ghana?
- Whilst mechanization offers potential for the oil palm industry in Ghana, it should be pursued with caution. The oil palm industry provides the means to generate significant economic and social development, by providing employment to a large number of the rural population.
- Where are palm oil samples collected in Ghana?
- Sample collection Palm oil samples were collected from seven major cities in Ghana namely: Accra, Kumasi, Takoradi, Ho, Cape Coast, Koforidua, and Sunyani. Apart from the Greater Accra Region, the six other regions are major producers of palm oil.
