  • Could a new palm oil refinery in Mindanao help advance the industry?

  • What is palm oil refining?
  • The process of transforming crude palm oil into Refined Bleached Deodorised Palm Oil, which can already be used in food products, is called palm oil refining. The final stage in processing involves fractionation of the refined palm oil to produce liquid palm oleic and a solid product called palm stearin.‌
  • What is the second stage of palm oil refining?
  • The second stage of palm oil refining involves refining the crude palm oil, a process that extracts fatty acids, colour and other impurities. This transforms the crude palm oil into Refined Bleached Deodorised Palm Oil, which can already be used in food products.‌
  • Where are palm oil refineries typically located?
  • Palm oil refineries are typically located close to ports from which the palm oil can be shipped to other destinations. Wilmar, for instance, owns shipping companies such as Yihai Kerry International Trading Co. Ltd which transport palm oil and other related palm oil products around the world.‌
  • Why was the first palm oil refinery established in Soccsksargen?
  • “The establishment of the first palm oil refinery in the Soccsksargen region underscores the immense potential for growth and development within the palm oil sector,” Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr. said.‌
  • Why is gareco launching a refinery mill?
  • “The refinery mill is expected to make oil palm products more accessible and affordable for the local market, and serve as a stable source of income for oil palm growers from Sultan Kudarat and Maguindanao,” the bank added. Gareco had formed partnerships with 63 farmers to manage 3,065 hectares (ha) of farm land planted to palm oil trees.
