  • When did oil palm grow in Uganda?
  • First conceived in the 1970s, oil palm growing in Uganda only gained traction after OPUL came on board in 2003, under a $100 million project sponsored by the International Fund for Agricultural Development IFAD. Uganda consumes 550,000 tonnes of vegetable oil annually.
  • How many hectares will Uganda need under oil palm?
  • OPUL’s Damanik said Uganda will need 100,000ha under oil palm if it is to fully substitute its palm oil imports at the current consumption rates. He adds that such production can only be achieved through oil palm because of its higher yield of oil compared with other crops, which would require a lot more land.
  • How much vegetable oil does Uganda consume a year?
  • Uganda consumes 550,000 tonnes of vegetable oil annually. Uganda has achieved substitution of nearly nine percent of its annual vegetable oil imports and lifted thousands of smallholder farmers out of poverty.
  • How do smallholder growers earn money from oil palm seed?
  • Some 1,850 smallholder growers are earning regular incomes from the sale of oil palm seed to OPUL, a joint venture between Kenya-based Bidco Oil and global palm oil behemoth Wilmar International, the government’s private sector partner.
