Hello greetings everyone on this great community hive naija is my pleasure to create my post here is going to be an interesting post sharing with you all how to obtain palm oil from palm fruits, The process of producing palm oil from palm fruits is not always an easy tasks those that experience the stressed that includes in palm oil production can relate, is the kind of work that requires force during the processes mostly when the palm fruits are excess.

In my hometown we have a lot of palm trees which usually produce and palm fruits in excess and palm oil there are affordable and costly there I know some people will ask me why it is costly when there is a lot of palm trees that produces many palm fruits.
There are seasons for which palm tree produce palm fruits in excess that's always happens from January to may during that period palm fruits are always plenty while harvesting so during that period of time palm oil prices will be affordable or low in price.

There are also season were palm fruits become scanty during harvesting this always happens during June to December and during that season palm oil will be costly there and even in the international market because the palm fruits are scanty.
The scarcity of palm fruits happened base on the climate change, that is why you notice during raining season palm oil prices increases.
So that's about the affordable and costly in palm oil prices here.

This is the palm fruits mixed with soccer before the selection of the soccer.

Now I will go deeply showing the processes of producing palm oil from palm fruits bit by bit.

During the preparation the palm fruits was already been harvest from the palm trees plantation and cutting of the palm fruits to easily select the soccer from the main palm fruit, so the remaining task was to select the soccer from the palm fruits before taking to the mill, we spent two (2) days during the process.

Now we start from selecting the palm fruits from the soccer me and my sister after selecting the soccer from the main fruits my brother use the our local Manuel palm fruits selecting equipment to select the palm fruits from those small soccer.

step 2

After selecting the palm fruits from all the soccer we toke the palm fruits to the mill to put in the drum and also put water, we done that during the night that is why I didn't take pictures showing how we take the fruits to the mill.
