What output of palm oil mill do I need?

For most first-time palm oil mill businessmen, they have no idea about yield. So here we offer a way to caculate the production output you might need for your business plan. Palm oil is made from palm fruit or palm kernel. But whatever you want to make, the following calculation methods are all applicable.

There are about 140 palm trees planted per hectare land, and about 20 tons fresh fruits can be produced per tree per year.
In most cases, 12.5% of orchard output are defined as the maximum palm fruit consumption each month.
The producing time should be caculated according to 25 days each month and 20 hours one day.

Example: With 2000 hectares plantation, the production output of palm oil mill you need to build is:
2000 x 20 x 12.5% / 25 / 20 = 10 ton/hour

The Profit Margin of Palm Oil Mill

For a commodity that is sold in the global market, one tonne of palm oil costs about $550 (173,000 in Naira). So what is the expected profit margin of selling palm oil? Well, if a good machine is used during the extraction process in a small scale palm oil plant, about 25 % of oil is usually extracted from the fruit bunch and this means that in order for you to produce 10 tonnes of palm oil, you need some fresh fruit bunch of about 40 tonnes. The processing of a single batch including the fermentation process takes about 3-4 days. Taking into account weekends where there isn't any work, you will have around 12 days of a pure palm-oil output and this means that you will have about 120 tonnes of palm oil monthly. Machines, on the other hand, are not usually 100% effective and most of them have 90-95% efficiency. This means you can have around 100 tonnes of oil monthly. As previously mentioned, a tonne costs around $550, therefore the total for a month will be: 100 x $550 = $55,000

Out of that amount, around 40% will be spent on buying palm fruits and about 20% on expenditures such as staff payment, transport, and maintenance among others.

40/100 X $55,000= $22,000
20/100 x $55,000= $11,000
Total Expenditure $11,000 + $22,000 = $33,000

The expected profit $55,000 -$33,000 = $22,000. If you are in Nigeria, this is about 7.9 million naira. If you are embarking on the palm oil business, that's the expected profit that you can make monthly.
