PACKAGING AND EXPORT OF PALM KERNEL SHELL {PKS} IN NIGERIA, THE OPPORTUNITY.
Ask any farmer in southern Nigeria which cash crop that has no useless part or derivatives puts cash in his pocket, and enriches the soil, he/she'll probably say "Oil Palm."
Oil Palm trees grows in the coastal belt in Nigeria which varies in depth from 100 to 150 miles and a riverine belt which follows the valleys of the Niger and Benue for a distance of about 450 miles from the sea. The main palm oil producing states includes Ogun, Ondo, Oyo, Edo, Cross River, Anambra, Enugu, Imo, Abia, Ekiti, Akwa-Ibom, Delta and Rivers.
Palm oil, a product gotten from the processing of fresh fruit bunch {oil palm tree} forms an important part of the local diet in Nigeria because animal fats such as milk and butter are hardly consumed. It is used both as a cooking material and as an ingredient in soups, sauces and a variety of local dishes. Consequently, there had long been a thriving market for palm oil both within the main areas of production in eastern and western Nigeria and between these regions and the non-palm oil producing northern region.
Other product gotten from oil palm tree includes palm kernel oil and palm kernel cake can be gotten from the oil palm tree.
Palm kernel Shell {PKS} is gotten from the cracking of the palm kernel shell to release the nut after the palm oil has been extracted from fresh fruit bunch {FFB}.
