- What is the role of the palm oil industry?
- This chapter will provide the reader with an understanding of the role of the palm oil industry in the international oils and fats market, the technology involved in extracting and processing of the oil, and the various quality parameters useful in understanding the applications of palm oil products.
- Why is palm oil a favourable ingredient for food production?
- Palm (kernel) oil is a favourable ingredient for food production as it maintains its properties at high temperatures, has a smooth and creamy texture and possesses no distinct smell. Palm oil also has a natural preservative effect, which extends the shelf life of food products. The oil is also widely used by the home and personal care sectors.

- Is boycotting palm oil a sustainable solution?
- Avoiding or boycotting palm oil is not a sustainable solution and could in fact make matters much worse. Although using other vegetable oils might seem like a practical solution, it would actually create similar – if not even larger – environmental and social problems in different production areas.
- Can palm oil plantations be developed without consulting local communities?
- Land, which was once predominantly covered by primary forest (forest untouched by man) or which housed protected species and a high biodiversity, has been cleared in order to be converted into palm oil plantations. Likewise, some palm oil plantations have been developed without consulting local communities.
