Palm oil is the most widely-used vegetable oil in the world. It is found in approximately 60% of all packaged products in supermarkets today. It plays a significant role in the production of various items, such as cookies, where it ensures a deliciously crispy and crunchy texture. Additionally, palm oil is a key ingredient in margarine, providing a smooth and spreadable consistency.

Palm oil accounts for around 35% of all vegetable oils consumed globally, while requiring only 10% of the agricultural land intended for oil production. Compared to other crops, oil palm delivers a remarkably high yield per hectare.
