Benefits and Advantages of Palm Oil Plants

Palm fruit

The main parts for palm oil is processed from the fruit. Part of the fruit yield of crude palm oil is processed into cooking oil feedstock. Advantages of vegetable oil from palm oil is a low price, low cholesterol, and has a high carotene content. Palm oil can also beprocessed into alcohol feedstock oil, soap, candles, and cosmetics industries. The rest of the palm fruit is the potential to be a mixture of animal food and fermented into compost.Empty fruit bunches can be used for mulching of oil palm plantations, as raw material forpulp and organic solvents, and coconut oil can be used as fuel and the manufacture ofactivated charcoal.Palm oil has a higher productivity than other
vegetable oil crops (such as soybeans, peanuts, etc.), so the production cost becomes lighter. Palm oil production period is long enough (22 years) will also influence the severity of the production costs incurred by the oil palm business. Coconut oil is also the most resistant plant pests anddiseases than any other vegetable oil crops. If viewed from the per capita consumption of vegetable oils the world reached an average of 25 kg / yr per person, this need willcontinue to increase in line with population growth and rising per capita konsimsi.
