  • Why is Uganda interested in palm oil?
  • The Government of Uganda’s interest in the development of palm oil partly originates from the Comprehensive African Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP), and the government’s Vision 2040, National Development Plans, the National Agriculture Policy (NAP), and the Agriculture Sector Strategic Plan (ASSP).
  • How much money did oil palm farmers make in Uganda?
  • Of this, US$70.38 million was from Oil Palm Uganda Limited (OPUL), US$52 million was a loan from IFAD, a GoU contribution of US$14.14 million, US$5.48 million from Kalangala Oil Palm Growers Trust (KOPGT), farmers’ contribution estimated at US$3.89 million, and US$0.285 million from SNV (the Netherlands Development Organization).
  • Where is oil palm grown in Uganda?
  • The best area for cultivation of oil palm in Uganda was found to be the Lake Victoria islands, notably the Ssese Islands (IFAD, 1997). Since 1998, the Government of Uganda has invested in domestic production and processing of vegetable oils to meet the increasing national demand.
  • Should Uganda develop palm oil for import substitution?
  • As such, there is growing interest by the Government of Uganda in developing palm oil for import substitution, and the fact that production from even poor yielding oil palm substantially exceeds that from a similar area of annual oilseed crops.
  • Is palm oil investment in Kalangala sustainable?
  • In a recent VODP supervision report (IFAD, 2018), palm oil investment in Kalangala is considered to have been carried out in an environmentally sustainable way, and that the project has adopted a high standard of environmental norms that minimizes environment impacts.
  • What is national oil palm project (NOPP)?
  • The National Oil Palm Project (NOPP) was proposed to start in the financial year 2018/19. NOPP will draw on the experiences from the oil palm investment in Kalangala under VODP and VODP II and is to build on the opportunities generated by a growing domestic palm oil industry.
