Palm oil is widely believed to have originated in the rainforest regions of West Africa. The main zone passes through Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Togo in southern latitudes and Angola and Congo in the equatorial region.

Due to its economic importance as a high-yield edible oil and a major source of technical oils, palm oil is now grown as a crop in most countries with high rainfall (lower than 1 600 mm/year) and located in the equatorial tropics at 10° climate region. Palm fruit bunches vary in weight from 10 to 40 kg. The single fruit, from 6 to 20 cm, consists of an outer skin (exocarp), a pulp (mesocarp) containing palm oil; a central palm kernel consisting of a shell (endocarp) and a kernel; while the kernel, which itself contains a The oil is different from the oil, similar to coconut oil.
