Why Red Palm Oil Is So Expensive | So Expensive | Insider Business

While palm oil is known for being cheap and controversial, red palm oil is artisanal made and much more expensive. The vibrantly colored oil is made from palm fruits and can cost three times as much as its kernel-oil counterpart.
Despite the high cost, the handmade oil is a staple in West African households, used to make local dishes like jollof rice and banga soup. But what makes it different from palm oil? And why exactly is it so expensive?

Why Red Palm Oil Farmers Risk Their Lives For This Precious Cooking Oil | So Expensive

I enjoyed watching! I've been eating red palm oil since I was a child. It's rich with a buttery taste, great flavor and an inviting smell. What's in this video is production of red palm oil at a certain scale for sale. Each family can make their own oil by cooking the fruits, pounding them, then filtering, then cooking the fiber-rich product. At the bottom rests the pulp in a soup that can be flavored and eaten with many side dishes and at the surface floats the red oil that can be collected with a spoon. The palm tree is a blessing to many African families. They grow everywhere very easily. Most trees are planted by birds eating the fruits and spreading the nuts. The fruit can also be eaten raw or roasted. It's a delicacy. 😋

Here's from the Malaysian government website itself and Wikipedia: Palm oil trees were introduced to British Malaya by the British government in early 1870s as ornament plants from Eastern Region and The Oil River Protectorate, Nigeria, West Africa. The first commercial palm oil cultivation was done in Selangor in 1917 at Tennamaran Estate. In the early stage of development, the government focused on increasing its palm oil output by rapidly increasing the land area for the palm oil cultivation.

Red palm oil is a valuable and widely used cooking oil in many parts of the world, particularly in regions like West Africa and Southeast Asia. Red palm oil is not only used for cooking but also for traditional and medicinal purposes. It's a significant part of the cultural and culinary heritage of many communities.

The subtitles arent matching victors words, sometimes the meaning of what he is saying is being teanslated in literal terms. "This my axe for hook and forage." Means its his tool for climbing and for cutting. Not just that "This is my axe. This for climbing and harvest"... ots for clewring the brush... cutting holds, working palm fronds... Ot is not just his axe for climbing and harvesting...

[@triadwarfare]

I kinda feel that further investment is needed to make harvesting and making these palm oils are needed. They can use methods used in regular palm oil manufacturers to make it viable to harvest them efficiently and safely, have commercial processing plants that can process it rather than relying on rust buckets and manual labor, then sell directly to the US and EU rather than relying on middlemen that make immense profits and pockets the difference. If the farmers themselves get a higher percentage of the cut, they should be able to invest in better equipment

just similar with factory.. factory they have extra step to purify the oil and remove the keratanoid compound

This brilliant documentary should be watched by all African governments. Africa cannot feed its growing population because of the lack of machinery, good roads, and electricity. The people are productive and hardworking, but the government are highly useless despite 23 years of unbroken democracy. Asia's success can be linked directly to investment in R&D, access capital and government investment in electricity, logistics and local security.

[@DossNZ]

that's all very well, but instead of fleecing the government and people for this, what about fleecing some of the heavy profit makers instead, forcing safety at least.

In 1910 there’s was around 50,000 deaths related to heart diseases and in 1980 it was like 800,000… P&G funded the AHA for one reason only and that was the make the public believe seed oils were safe and it worked flawlessly and made them filthy rich in the process.
