Abstract
Research, oil palm and sustainable development
Highlights
Members of the general public in western countries (Europe, USA, Canada, etc.) are not very familiar with the oil palm commodity chain
For what are equivalent production levels, illustrating the exceptional vitality of the palm oil palm supply chain in relation to an otherwise allconquering soybean oil supply chain, it can be seen that the areas being harvested are in a ratio of 1 to more than 7, with oil palm producing the highest yields per hectare of all oil crops (5 and up to as much as 7 tonnes of oil on estates exceeding several thousand hectares)
Oil palm estates and oil mills, along with all the services associated with production, are contributing to the development of local economies, often in pioneer agriculture zones
Summary
Members of the general public in western countries (Europe, USA, Canada, etc.) are not very familiar with the oil palm commodity chain. It is necessary to successfully reconcile, by all possible means, the indispensable extension of plantations to meet strong demand for palm oil, and tropical forest preservation.
