Ghana: Insight Into Oil Palm Planting Materials Developed
Analysis The oil palm industry in Ghana has evolved over the last five decades to become the second most important industry in the agricultural sector after
Closing yield gaps in oil palm production systems in Ghana
The area under oil palm in Ghana has expanded but average fruit bunch yields remained low, resulting in large yield gaps. This study assessed the potential for increasing yield with 'Best Management Practices (BMP)' on plantations and smallholder farms in southern Ghana, compared with current standard practices, i.e. reference (REF) yield.

Processing practices of small-scale palm oil producers in the
Oil palm ( Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) cultivation is a core part of Ghana's agriculture. It has been selected by the government as a key strategic pillar of agricultural and industry-led growth for poverty reduction because of its potential to provide income for many rural smallholders [1].
Small-Scale Palm Oil Production in Ghana: Practices
The environmental impact of small-scale palm oil processing mills in Ghana has come under serious questioning, especially the disposal of wastewater generated
Yield gap analysis in oil palm production systems in Ghana
However, yield gaps in oil palm production were large and ubiquitous in Ghana. Using a boundary line analysis, the water-limited yield (Yw) over a planting cycle was estimated at 21 t ha-1 yr-1 FB, with yield gaps of 15.4 t ha-1 yr-1 FB at smallholder farms and 9.8 t ha-1 yr-1 FB at plantations. Poor management practices, including incomplete
Processing practices of small-scale palm oil producers
Ghana produces about 2,000,000 metric tons of oil palm fruits annually, and small-scale processors contribute about 60% of crude palm oil production.
How improved oil palm milling practices enhance livelihoods
Motivated, Paul made additional investment in a digester and screw press to optimize palm oil extraction. The investment is now paying off. 淯ntil about mid-2019, I could only extract up to 250 litres of palm oil from 300 fresh fruit bunches. Now, however, this has increased by some four-fold to more than 1,100 litres.
Small-Scale Palm Oil Production in Ghana: Practices
The environmental impact of small-scale palm oil processing mills in Ghana has come under serious questioning, especially the disposal of wastewater generated
Closing yield gaps in oil palm production systems in Ghana
Increasing yields to 21.0 t ha鈦宦?on land already planted to oil palm, can increase national fruit bunch production from 2.5 Mt to 6.9 Mt, sparing 600,000 ha of land. However, labour constraints...
