10.1 Introduction
Palm oil is an essential part of the diet of many people around the world. It is also a
key raw material for the processed food, and pharmaceutical and cosmetics industry. According to the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations
(FAO), palm oil is the most widely produced vegetable oil accounting for 33% of
the global vegetable oil production in 2014 (FAO 2017). At the same time, palm oil
production has increased more than any other type of vegetable oil since 1961,
recording a staggering 39-fold increase. The FAO projects that the production of oil
crops will almost triple (from 100 million tons to 293 million tons) in 2050 with a
large part of this increase being due to oil palm expansion.
