Palm oil production begins with palm oil seeds. As oil palms have a productive life of 25-30 years, the choice of seeds will impact production for decades to come.

The harvested FFB are transported in trucks from the plantations to the mills, where they are sterilized using steam. This prepares the FFB for stripping, which will remove the palm fruit from the bunch, and also deactivates any enzymes which may cause the FFB to deteriorate in quality.

Once the FFB has been stripped, any waste is reused. The long fibres in the stalks can be used to make mattresses and car seat cushions, while the remaining empty fruit bunches are returned to the soil where they help retain moisture before serving as fertilizer when they eventually decompose.

After being stripped from the FFB, the palm fruit is processed into two main products: Crude Palm Oil (CPO), which is extracted from the mesocarp or flesh of the fruit, and Palm Kernel Oil (PKO), which comes from the hard seed in the centre.

The first step is to press the fruit, which squeezes CPO from its mesocarp. The oil is then screened and clarified to ensure it is free from contamination, and dried to meet standard CPO specifications.

Next the CPO is transferred to a refinery where it is processed into edible oils .

Meanwhile, a ‘cake’ comprising a mix of mesocarp fibre and seed is left behind in the press. This press cake is fed into the depericarper station, which separates the mesocarp fibre and seed.

The mesocarp fibre is used as biofuel in the palm oil mills boilers, which produce steam to drive turbines to power the mill.
