Palm oil is used for food products, detergents, cosmetics and bio-fuel. Palm oil comes from the fruit of the oil palm tree. It can be separated into a wide range of distinct oils with different properties. This versatility has seen palm oil replace animal and other vegetable oils in a wide variety of products. Grown only in the tropics, the oil palm tree produces high-quality oil used primarily for cooking in developing countries. It is a very productive crop. It offers a far greater yield at a lower cost of production than other vegetable oils. Global production of and demand for palm oil is increasing rapidly. Palm oil touches our lives every time we take a trip to the supermarket. Palm oil and its derivatives are used in a ubiquitous array of packaged foods, including ice cream, cookies, crackers, chocolate products, cereals, breakfast bars, cake mixes, doughnuts, potato chips, instant noodles, frozen sweets and meals, baby formula, margarine, and dry and canned soup. We supply palm oil from Malaysia and Indonesia and sell it to Asia, Africa and Middle East Regions.
