Crude Palm Oil Production Cost Reports

Crude Palm Oil production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Crude Palm Oil production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Crude Palm Oil. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Crude Palm Oil (CPO) or dendê oil is an edible oil derived from the red fruit pulp of oil palms (Elaeis guineensis). Since it is derived from fruit pulp, it is naturally similar to the pulp's colour owing to the high inactive vitamin A content. It is distinguishable from the kernel or coconut oil. Usually, it is blended with coconut oil to produce highly saturated vegetable fat, which is used for cooking applications.

Crude Palm Oil is produced on huge lands, especially in Southeast Asian countries like Indonesia and Malaysia, where these oil palm plantations are spread out for CPO cultivation. The oil's fatty acid composition was analysed by gas-liquid chromatography that indicated a presence of 0.16-0.95% lauric acid, 46.22-53.2% palmitic acid, 32.86-37.74% oleic acid, 1.37-1.67% myristic acid, 3.67-4.35% stearic acid, and 7.28-10.59% linoleic acid.

Crude Palm Oil is mainly used for cooking applications which are driving the oil's demand. It is used for cooking in South-East Asia, West Africa and in some regions of Brazil. It is commercially used for cooking owing to it being cheaper, which is boosting its sales. It is also used in the production of biodiesel, and among its by-products, one is Glycerin which has further applications in several industries, thereby furthering the market's growth.

Apart from its extensive end-use in cooking, it is employed for manufacturing pre-packaged food (pizza, doughnuts and chocolate), products including hair care (shampoo), cleaning products, cosmetics (lipstick), soaps and personal care items (deodorant, toothpaste) which is propelling its market demand across several industries. As a key raw ingredient in the manufacturing of biofuel, it is used as a fuel in motor vehicles, shipping and aircraft, creating more market opportunities for the key players. Also, the oil is resistant to oxidation which increases the shelf-life of products making it an ideal choice for manufacturers.
