  • Is palm oil a sustainable option in Latin America?
  • In the light of environmental and social sustainability concerns in relation to palm oil from Southeast Asia, several Latin American countries present palm oil production in their region as a more sustainable option. In the light of these concerns, Latin American palm oil is seen as an opportunity to open export markets.
  • What is the future of palm oil production in Latin America?
  • Palm oil production in several Latin American countries has further growth potential for domestic and regional consumption, as well as export markets. Global production of palm oil is expected to further increase, from around 80 million MT in 2021 to 90 million tons in 2030.
  • Is palm oil a good choice for cooking in Latin America?
  • Palm oil is very suited for frying, which is an important part of Latin America¡¯s cooking culture. However, it is essential to consider the social and deforestation issues associated with palm oil production in Latin America. Several countries, including Brazil and Colombia, are promoting the use of biodiesel as part of CO2 emission reduction goals and aims to reduce dependency on fossil fuel imports.

Colombia, Costa Rica, Brazil, and Honduras have average yields between 3.4 and 3.0 MT/ha. The different Latin American countries show considerable variations in palm oil productivity.
  • Where does Brazil import palm oil from?
  • Brazil does not source most of its palm oil from within the country. Instead, Indonesia and Malaysia accounted for more than 70 percent of Brazil's imports (327,000 MT) in 2020. Neighboring Colombia was another important source.
  • Where does palm oil come from?
  • Palm oil is extracted from the ripened mesocarp of the fruits of oil palm tree (Elaeis guineensis). The oil palm fruit is a drupe formed in spiky tight bunches. The five leading producing countries are Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Colombia and Nigeria.
