12/6/2023 0 Comments 2015 oil production by country![]() The share of the American continent in the world vegetable oil production is around 25%, soybean being the main source, with 58% of this value, followed by canola (8%) and palm oil (5%) according to Torres (2013). Palm oil represents almost 40% of the world's vegetable oil production, with 70.3 million tons of oil produced in Indonesia and Malaysia with account for 86.5% of that total ( USDA, 2014). The remaining 32.5% are supplied by canola, sunflower, peanut and cottonseed oils ( Fig. Of these, 37.6% (70.3 million tons) are provided by palm and palm kernel and 30% (55 million tons) by soybean. Global production of vegetable oil is growing and it is estimated as187 million tons for 2016/2017, according to USDA-FSA ( USDA, 2017), with a forecast of 195 million due to rising food consumption in emerging countries and in biofuels application.

Une telle espèce pérenne et durable répondra probablement aux exigences pour devenir une nouvelle variété commerciale importante. Le palmier macauba possède un potentiel de rendement élevé en huile et de diversification des coproduits à forte ajoutée. Il se développe spontanément dans un large éventail d'environnements et n'est pas très exigeant en eau. Ce palmier américain provenant des zones tropicales présente une productivité et une qualité d'huile similaires à celles du palmier à huile. Dans ce contexte, nous décrivons le potentiel d' Acrocomia aculeata, connu sous le nom de macauba. Les sources d'huiles végétales devraient être économiquement compétitives et afficher des indices de durabilité plus élevés que le palmier à huile et le soja. La diversification des matières premières pour ce marché est donc stratégique pour les secteurs alimentaire et non alimentaire. Le palmier à huile est cultivé en zone tropicale, sur des surfaces anciennement occupées par des forêts l'huile de soja est un sous-produit de la production de protéines. Près de 122 des 187 millions de tonnes d'huiles végétales actuellement produites dans le monde sont issues de palme ou de soja. La demande mondiale croissante d'huiles végétales pour l'alimentation et pour remplacer les combustibles fossiles entraîne une production accrue d'oléagineux. Such a perennial and sustainable species will probably fulfill the requirements to become an important new commercial oilseed crop. Macauba palm has a high potential for oil production and for diversification of co-products with some potential of value aggregation. It grows spontaneously in a wide range of environments and it is not very water demanding. ![]() Macauba is an American palm from the tropical zones which presents oil productivity and quality similar to that of the oil palm. ![]() In this context, we describe the potential of Acrocomia aculeata, popularly known as macauba. Sources for vegetable oil should be economically competitive and provide sustainability indexes higher than that provided by oil palm and soybean. The diversification of raw materials for the vegetable oil market is thus strategic for both food and non-food sectors. ![]() The oil palm is cultivated in the tropical zone, in areas formerly occupied by forests, and soybean oil is a by-product of protein meal production. Almost 122 of the current 187 million tons of vegetable oils produced in the world correspond to palm and soybean oils. * Correspondence: growing global demand for vegetable oils for food and for replacing fossil fuels leads to increased oilseeds production.
