  • When did Benin start producing oil palms?
  • In the 1950s, Benin launched its first oil palm sector industrialization program in which the colonial government invested in large-scale, public industrial processing facilities. After independence in 1960, the national government established more facilities with greater capacity and planted around 30,000 hectares of selected oil palm seedlings.
  • How much palm oil does Nigeria import?
  • In 2021, Nigeria imported $568M in Palm Oil, becoming the world’s 21st largest importer of Palm Oil. In the same year, Palm Oil was the 14th most imported product in Nigeria. Nigeria imports Palm Oil primarily from: Malaysia ($365M), India ($92.7M), China ($45.2M), Indonesia ($38.2M), and Singapore ($16.8M).
  • What challenges does Nigeria face in palm oil production?
  • However, despite its prominence in the global market, the country faces several challenges in the palm oil production sector. One of the primary issues is the reliance on imports to meet domestic demand. Despite being a major palm oil producer, Nigeria still imports a significant portion of its palm oil needs.
  • Why is Benin a hub for mass palm oil production?
  • From mechanized processing techniques that allow lower cost prices to a larger production of bulk sales that attract more retailers, Benin has become a hub for mass palm oil manufacturing base. The global market for peanut oil registered a value CAGR of 3.4% from 2016 to 2020.
