Description

The African oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) is a tropical plant native to West and Central Africa, widely cultivated for its oil-rich fruit. The plant produces large, reddish-orange fruits that yield both palm oil from the pulp and palm kernel oil from the seed. Palm oil is a key ingredient in numerous products, including food, cosmetics, and biofuels, due to its high yield and versatility. The oil palm thrives in hot, humid climates and is primarily grown in Southeast Asia, though it is also found in parts of Africa and South America. While it offers significant economic benefits, the cultivation of the African oil palm has led to environmental concerns, including deforestation, loss of biodiversity, and habitat destruction for endangered species. In response, sustainability initiatives such as the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) have been developed to promote responsible production practices. Despite these challenges, the oil palm remains one of the most productive oil crops globally, making it an essential agricultural commodity.
