palm oil mill

A palm oil mill is a facility where freshly harvested oil palm fruits are processed to extract palm oil. The process involves sterilizing the fruits, threshing to separate the fruits from the bunches, and pressing to extract the oil. The mill refines the crude oil into various products used in foods, cosmetics, and biofuels. Efficient operation of the mill ensures high-quality oil while managing waste and by-products responsibly. It plays a crucial role in providing palm oil for global markets, supporting economies, but also requires sustainable practices to minimize environmental and social impacts.
