Palm oil processing business in Honduras

Starting a palm oil processing business in Honduras is a good choice. Due to rich oil palm resources; Promotion of production and processing co-operatives and multinationals; Growing domestic and international demand and other advantages.

The detailed reasons are as follows:

Reason 1: Oil palm resources is rich. (Most of Honduras is covered with rainforest thus its climate is conducive to growing African oil palm.)

Palm oil processing business in Honduras

Honduras is a country in Central America that is the largest producer of palm oil. It holds approximately 45 percent of palm oil that is produced in the whole of Central America. It is the seventh largest producer in the whole world. Honduran palm oil processors export the 50% they produce, and the local industries consume the rest. When and how did the industry begin? African oil palm which originates from West Africa was introduced in Honduras in the year 1927. Most of Honduras is covered with rainforest thus its climate is conducive to growing African oil palm. The cultivation of the palm oil plantation was first in the northern part of Honduras. By the 1970s there were 11,000 hectares of the palm plantation. Currently, over 84000 hectares are covered with palm oil plantation, and the government is planning to increase to more land. They are planning to expand to over 200,000 hectares which is a considerable number.

Reason 2: Production and processing co-operatives and multinationals promotes the development of palm oil processing business.

Most palm oil production takes place in the Carribean region of Honduras coast. In the coastal plains of Atlantida, Sula, and Aguan valleys are full of the palm plantations. Both small and large-scale farmers undertake farming. The small farmers have incorporated co-operatives which process their produce. The small-scale farmers work is to farm while the co-operative handle the extra work of exporting. There are several multinationals involved in manufacturing and processing the palm oil in the country. Their operations include cultivating vast tracts of land, and they also buy from small-scale farmers. Production and processing co-operatives and multinationals are the main producers (accounting for 68 per cent and 29 per cent respectively).

Reason 3: Domestic and international demand is increasing. The Honduras government encourage the development of palm oil processing business.

The government has even stepped in to broaden palm oil manufacturing and processing industry as worldwide demand increases. The increase in demand has increased due to the use of palm oil extracts as biofuel or agrifuel. The biofuel is used as an alternative to oil and does not emit harmful gases that pollute the environment. The production of biofuel from Honduran palm oil is very lucrative.

Reason 4: The world bank will finance the palm oil processing business in Honduras.

The World Bank has led funding to corporations. The funding is to help the companies to grow more African Palm. The money is used to acquire more land which is used for subsistence farming to plant more African Palm. These will lead to more money will flow into the economy of Honduras.

Reason 5: Farmers, NGOs, and the government are co-operating to create a sustainable palm oil manufacturing and processing industry.

Farmers, NGOs, and the government are co-operating to create a sustainable palm oil manufacturing and processing industry. They are preventing deforestation and use of harmful pesticides. The positive changes in the sector have led to increase in the production of palm oil. The growth continues to increase year after year. The growth is considerable in that no other country production is growing at that rate. With the high-quality palm oil production, the demand will continue to rise. If you are planing to set up a palm oil mill plant in Honduras, if you want to make money from palm oil processing business. Choosing a reliable palm oil processing machine supplier will be the first step.
