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.

The oil palm fruits are usually processed into crude palm oil using semi-mechanized processing equipment at a milling site. The mill is locally called 楥ramer?after a Belgian engineer who first set up a small-scale mill in the district in 1982 (Nana Yeboah, 2010, personal communication).

Oil palm production in Ghana—which is primarily cultivated by smallholders (60%+)—plays an important role in local economies and rural livelihoods.
4. TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUES AND INNOVATIONS IN SMALL-SCALE PALM OIL
In small-scale processing, digestion, the breaking up of the oil-bearing cells of the palm fruit mesocarp, is the most labour intensive. Two methods of fruit maceration common in traditional processing: 路 pounding cooked/soaked fruits in large wooden or concrete mortars with a wooden pestle;
