Is palm oil production business profitable in Ghana?

Is palm oil business profitable in Ghana? Let's see the palm oil market situation of Ghana firstly.

Ghana imported nearly 250,000 tonnes of palm oil from Southeast Asia in 2014, worth more than US$175 million. Until last year, Ghana's domestic palm oil year output was only 135,000 tons, while the demand exceeded 370,000 tons. Obviously, the palm oil production amount in Ghana can not fulfil the demand of market.

Secondly, because 80% of the local palm oil in Ghana is produced by small workshops, the humidity is high and it contains a lot of free fatty acids, which are easy to deteriorate and unsuitable for storage. These palm oil only can be sold as cooking oil, and cannot be used for industrial production. However, fast-moving consumer goods manufacturers, such as Wilmer, Unilever, Nestle, etc, have large quantities of demand for palm oil. Therefore, it is very necessary to set up automatic palm oil mill plants in Ghana to produce high quality palm oil.
