Many
of you might not be knowing that Indonesia along with Malaysia is one of the
highest producers of palm oil that you see in corner shops and hypermarkets all
across the country. Palm oil is extracted from the seeds of the palm tree and enjoys
immense popularity owing to its purported health benefits.
There
are various uses of palm oil and some people use it for cooking while there are
other industrial uses of palm oil that include making of soaps , while
otherwise it is a major source of vegetable and edible oil. Scented soap brands
often use Palm oil as a major ingredient in making their soaps.
The
popularity of palm oil can be judged by the number of queries on Google and the amount
of interest users’ show in the production, development and marketing of palm oil.
Users who want to purchase in bulk often ask these questions and often make
search queries that are being noted by web analytic experts across the globe. The exponential rise in plantations of palm
trees that you see across the board in the country side is primarily due to the
fact that it is a cash crop and farmers who grow this crop tend to make huge
amounts of cash by growing this crop on the edge of their fields.
Even biofuel is made out of it
If
you didn’t know about it then even biofuel is made out of palm oil and that is
the reason why palm oil commands such huge prices in the commodities market. It
is grown in plenty in lush tropical climates that are close to the equator and
enjoys good market value. No wonder the Indonesian and Malaysian economies are
booming owing to the foreign exchange earned by exporting this kind of oil.
For those who didn’t know, palm oil is
extracted by picking the right palm tree and since the seeds contain the oil,
they are often crushed in a mill and thereafter the oil is extracted from it.
It is a very sophisticated process and crude palm oil is thereafter taken to
refineries where it is purified and thereafter it passes through “palm oil
quality monitors which ensure that 100% pure and purified palm oil reaches the
customers.
Palm
oil competes with a lot of other kinds of oils like mustard oil, groundnut oil,
sunflower oil and the producers know that the battle for mindshare and
marketshare can only be won by adequate marketing and raising awareness about
the product and by selling to a wider geographical area so as to increase the
size of the market. So the next time you plan to cook a meal, try palm oil
instead of the usual oil you use.
