Palm oil is the most
widely used vegetable oil. It comes from the fruit of the African oil palm
tree (Elaeis guineensis).
Grown only in the tropics, the oil palm
tree produces high-quality oil used primarily for cooking in developing
countries. It is also used in food products, detergents, cosmetics and, to a
small extent, biofuel. Palm oil is a small ingredient in the U.S. diet, but
more than half of all packaged products Americans consume contain palm oil—it’s
found in lipstick, soaps, detergents and even ice cream.
Palm oil is a very productive crop. It
offers a far greater yield at a lower cost of production than other vegetable
oils. Global production of and demand for palm oil is increasing rapidly.
Plantations are spreading across Asia, Africa and Latin America. But such
expansion comes at the expense of tropical forests—which form critical habitats
for many endangered species and a lifeline for some human communities.
Native to West
Africa, oil palm has been traditionally grown as a subsistence crop in
small-scale farming systems for thousands of years.
Oil
palms were introduced to Southeast Asia by European traders in the early 19th
century, particularly in Indonesia and Malaysia, where the climate is more
humid, and therefore even more conducive to oil palm growth. Palm oil trees can
grow to over 20 metres tall, and unlike some other vegetable oil crops, the
fruit can be harvested all year round.
Large-scale
production on monocultural oil palm plantations has become highly prevalent
over the last forty years in response to ever-increasing global demand.
Why
is palm oil so widely used?
Palm oil is very versatile and
widely used in food products, detergents, and cosmetics. At least 50% of
the consumer
products sold in most supermarkets contains palm oil. It is
also increasingly used as a biofuel.
Palm oil has the potential to be a
more economically viable and sustainable vegetable oil than the alternatives:
- using
up to 10 times less land than other major vegetable oils such as rapeseed
or sunflower;
- producing
higher yields per hectare – one hectare of land can produce 4,000kg palm
oil, or 500kg of kernel oil;
- requiring less
fertiliser, fewer pesticides, and storing more carbon than other oil
crops.
