About palm oil, refined
cpc code 21652 covers the refined palm oil industry, a crucial component of the global edible oils and fats market. Palm oil is one of the most widely produced and consumed vegetable oils worldwide, with applications spanning food, cosmetics, biofuels, and industrial sectors. As a highly versatile and cost-effective oil, refined palm oil plays a significant role in the international trade of agricultural commodities and the broader economy.
Production process
The production of refined palm oil involves several key steps. First, fresh palm fruit bunches are harvested and processed to extract the crude palm oil. This crude oil then undergoes a refining process that includes degumming, bleaching, and deodorizing to remove impurities and improve the oil's quality and stability. The refined palm oil is then packaged and distributed for various end-uses.
Production inputs
The palm oil refining industry relies on several key inputs, including the harvested fresh fruit bunches from 21651 Palm oil, crude, as well as specialized equipment and machinery for the refining process. Energy sources, such as electricity and fuel, are also essential for powering the production facilities. Additionally, the industry requires a skilled workforce to operate the refining equipment and ensure quality control throughout the process.
