Palm Oil
Discover our high-quality palm oil products, responsibly sourced and processed
Palm oil is the world's largest vegetable oil — derived from the flesh of the palm fruit, it's widely used in food, cosmetics and energy. Its scale has made it the most controversial oil too, driving large-scale deforestation across Malaysia and Indonesia. In response, the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) has established internationally accepted criteria to balance growing demand with the protection of people, flora and fauna.
Our Range
Crude palm oil (CPO)
Palm fruits are pressed and degummed.
This product is then chemically or physically refined.
Refined palm oil
Crude palm oil can be chemically or physically refined.
Refined through physical or chemical processes, removing impurities for use in food and dairy industries.
Palm fatty acids
Palm fatty acids are a by-product of the chemical refining of crude palm oil.
It is mainly used in the animal feed industry.
Palm oil mill effluent (POME)
POME is generated in wash water during crude palm oil and fatty acid processing.
Due to the sustainability and origin of this by-product, it can be used as bio-oil or even as second-generation biodiesel.
Palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD)
Palm fatty acid distillate is a by-product of physical palm oil refining.
With an FFA content of 80–95%, PFAD is used as a raw material in animal feed and oleochemicals.
