  • How much does palm oil production increase in Liberia?
  • According to the Liberia project impact assessment, each unit increases annual palm oil production valued at an average of $16,000 — or approximately $56 million over the life of the expellers sold to date. Stimulated by considerably higher palm oil prices, oil palm growers have increased production in recent years in West and Central Africa.‌
  • How many palm oil expellers are there?
  • To date, more than 2,500 continuous-feed palm oil expellers are estimated to have been sold by manufacturers in Cameroon, Benin and Liberia. In Liberia alone, each oil extraction enterprise using a Freedom Mill employs three workers and one owner, providing processing services to approximately 20 small oil palm producers.‌
  • Does machining improve oil palm extraction rates?
  • Mechanized oil palm processing can provide improved extraction rates, however, the high capital and operating costs of many technologies mean that only oil palm production areas with the highest population densities and income levels are served. Meanwhile, other less costly technologies suffer from low extraction efficiencies and capacities.‌
  • Does hybrid tenera increase oil production?
  • The significantly higher extraction rate of 18 percent — when processing fruit from the hybrid tenera oil palm variety — increases oil production by more than 60 percent compared to the predominant traditional method, and 24 percent over other intermediate-scale mechanical methods.‌
  • What is a continuous feed palm oil expeller?
  • For example, the innovative continuous-feed palm oil expeller, called the Freedom Mill in Liberia, pulps the fruit and extracts the oil in the same operation.‌
  • What is the difference between manual and motorized oil palm expellers?
  • The per-hour processing capacity of this expeller is eight times greater for the manual version and 20 times greater for the motorized expeller, compared to oil palm processed with the traditional manual method.
