  • How can Myanmar protect its edible oil milling industry?
  • Efforts to protect Myanmar’s edible oil milling industry (e.g. by restricting palm oil imports or raising import duties) would hurt poorer consumers. Although liberalization of palm oil imports has proven challenging for domestic millers, it enables consumers to access edible oil at affordable prices.‌

  • Is oil palm a potential oilseed crop in Myanmar?
  • In the southern part of Myanmar, Tanintharyi Region, the yield of fresh fruit bunches of oil palm ranges from 12 MT to 17 MT per hectare. Therefore, as oil palm is a potential oilseed crop, it should be expanded with environmentally friendly standards.‌

  • They are Yuzana oil refinery which refines 300 MT/day, South Dagon oil refinery which refines 200 MT/day and Wilmar Myanmar Edible Oils Limited oil refinery in Thilawa port terminal which refines 460 MT/day. At present, crude palm oil can only be produced and palm oil refining production plants need to be developed.‌
  • How much palm oil is produced a year in Yangon?
  • In the case of palm oil refining production, the annual production of fresh fruit bunches was 510,035 MT which can produce 102,007 MT of crude palm oil in the fiscal year 2019-2020. Edible oil refinery produced 47,937 MT of refined palm oil from 59,921 MT of crude palm oil. There are three edible oil refineries in Yangon.‌
