hello friends,i just came back. farm work no easy oooh. i was able to weed around each palm in circle and spare herbicides, with the help of hired labour. some palms grew well , other perform poorly. i had to apply a little fertilizers to the ones performing poorly. i was not able to snap pictures , due to technical issues i had with the camera i took home. i promise to upload some pictures as soon as i can.

Today I want to talk about the different levels of palm oil after your extraction process.

In some area where oil extraction process is done manually.
The oil is first cooked, Then its then poured into a machines that separate the kernel from the fiber. Now after this stage the kernel and the fiber is then poured into a machine called presser (if I get the name correct) Now once the kernel and the fiber is poured into the presser, without you applying pressure on the presser, palm oil automatically starts coming out. From this process depending on the quantity of kernel and fiber poured into the presser, you might get up to 100 liters oil from this process

The second oil is when you, apply pressure on the presser. After apply pressure, you get your second oil.

The third oil is gotten by the following process. You separate the fiber from the kernel. Wrap the fiber with a sack so that air cant penetrate, once that is done, leave keep for 24 hours. After 24 hours take the fiber back to the presser, and apply pressure again, another round of oil would be gotten.
At these level you have gotten three level of oil. Now take the second and third oil, mix them together, pour them in a very big pot. Then start to cook the oil again, once you are done cooking, allow the oil to warm…… at these level the oil would float on top while water would be below, so what you do now is, you start scoping the oil, till you are done removing the oil.
Note: The first oil is the best…. Don’t mix the first oil with the second and third oil.. Even if you keep the first oil for 5 years, the oil would not solidify, it would forever be in a liquid form and it would not smell.
But the combination of the second and third oil would solidify over time, and might be prone to smell because there would always be water in the oil.
Also the first oil is more expensive than second and third oil when combined. But Most people selling oil sell combination of second and third oil the same price as the first oil, But only if you are into oil business you would not be able to differentiate between the different levels of oil.
But These level of oil might be gotten only if you extract oil through the method I mentioned above.
So for those of us, that wants to go into selling of oil, be sure of the level of oil, you are given…
For those of us that has plantation already, by the time your plantation is matured and you have started milling oil, think you should know that there are different levels of oil and also, you need to know that the first oil is always more expensive.

Would update again soonest.

Re: Starting An Oil Palm Plantation by okine4real: 1:01pm On Aug 15, 2013
The last time i was in The Villa, I bought some palm from an Institute near by. Although, the institute does not plant the palms, its just a local Man that plants the Tenera Oil plam in his House and bring them to the institute for them to be sold. He sells his for 200 Naira. I would advice anybody from Ondo Up to Eastern part of the country to buy from this man, my reasons are as follows.

1. His palm are always about eight months old when he would sell to you, but the once NIFOR sells is about 1 Month old.

2. Since the palm are about eight months old, you do not need to secure the palms with collars any more because the palms are already matured. in other word, grass cutter would not attack your palms.

3. If you buy palms from NIFOR, because NIFOR has lots of client always coming to buy their palm, They do not have time to nurture the palms for a longer period, But the man am talking about does not have that kind of customer base that NIFOR has, so his oil palm spends more months in his garden.

I was told By the Man that a Nairalander has already bought from him.

His name is Mr. Celestine his Phone No is 08037380506. he leaves in Ibusa.

I recommend him if you want to buy oil palm.
