Referring to the cost of setup a palm oil processing mill, many factors should be taken into consideration including production capacity, included equipment, factory layout, automation degree of the production line, requirements of the final palm oil (crude oil or refined oil). Here is some cost references for you. You are welcome to get in touch with us and get free service on estimating project cost.

  • 5~10 TPD Project: The cost of starting a 5~10 tons per day palm oil processing plant is about $20,000~$30,000.
  • 10~20 TPD Project: The cost of starting a 10-20 tons per day palm oil extraction plant is about $70,000~$80,000.

Over the earlier decennary, the government is actively promoting palm oil processing in Brazil in the shrew timberland as a replacement biofuel to soy. Since the oil palm's yielding capacity is comparatively at high extent, it helps being less challenging on land than soy and thus granting less compulsion on the wild forest. Albeit palm oil has been a major driving force of deforestation and societal dispute in most production countries of Asia, the Brazilian government has kept several implementations to make sure that palm oil is fertilized supportively, and the area is all-embracing needy.

The analysis coordinated in Brazil's prime palm oil manufacturing kingdom, Para, which states that the development and oscillation of palm oil value chain and the profitability, territorial and societal challenges are still major turned off tasks that needs to be addressed by the sector. While addressing them, it depicts that if correct procedures are regulated under ideal conditions, palm oil processing in Brazil can grow on a vast scale inclusively within ecosystem. This obviously comes with giant effect of production costs for manufacturers hence diminishing the foreign cut-throat of Brazilian palm oil sector.

  • Harvesting: The expenses engrossed in this function are harvesting and collection, and fertilizing tools. Based on the weight harvested, the price was RM 33.25i't, also accounting for 93% of the total fertilizing cost
  • Conveyance: Conveyance involves in-field conveyance and transfer of goods to the mill. A total of 7.4% of independent smallholders used equipment’s for their in-field collection.
  • Labor Cost: Labor is a noteworthy input and therefore accounts for many of the manufacturing cost. Use of equipment in oil palm industry is mainly in the in-house cluster work. Only 7.4% of farmers equipped their in-field cluster work by using power carts.
  • Other Cost: The expenses grouped in this segment incorporate quit rent and other payments. It engrosses to the sum of cost being itemized as other payments in upkeep, fertilization, harvesting and conveyance.

Palm oil processing in Brazil could eventually bring a lot of benefits for Amazon. If seeded on the lower grazing land that proliferate in the Brazilian forest, palm oil could help with larger number of occupation and upgraded salaries for natives than supreme form of land use in the sector. Lesser potency oxen harvesting than harming larger area of rainforest for more cattle grazing, native harvesters could start working in palm oil business and got advantages from its higher revenue.

Substituting oxen grazing with palm oil seeding also furnishes remarkable environmental merits as palm plants albeit not nearly as prized ecologically as forest sequester carbon and evapotranspiration humidity being so much important to the geophysical cycle of forests.
