How to start a medium or small scale palm oil processing plant in Nigeria?

Therefore, if you are planning to start a medium or small scale palm oil processing plant in Nigeria, it is a very wise decision. Henan Glory Company, as professional palm oil processing machine manufacturer, is very pleasure to introduce how to start a medium or small scale palm oil processing plant in Nigeria.

First, you should have enough raw material. If you want to start a 1t/h palm oil processing plant in Nigeria, you should have about 220 hectares oil palm plantation. And then you can obtain 20-23 tons fresh palm fruit bunches every hectare and year, and after processing, you can get 4-5T crude palm oil every hectare and year.

Next, you need find a suitable location to start your palm oil processing plant. In the process of selecting site, you should consider the distance and water source. The site of palm oil processing plant had better be close to the oil palm plantation, because the fresh palm fruit need to be processed as soon as possible, or it will become rancid to make the FFA value rise, then cause the worse quality of crude palm oil. Besides, the site of palm oil processing plant had better be close to water source, as it needs a constant water supply for the boiling/steaming of palm fruit bunches in palm oil processing.

Third, the area of the palm oil processing plant is also the thing you should consider. Based on the amount of your raw material and your other requirements, our engineer can give you a suggestion on the required area of the palm oil processing plant. If you have many workers, maybe it need enough room for these workers to live.
