Commitment to Sustainability
At DOS Palm Oil Ghana Ltd, sustainability is at the core of our operations. We believe in cultivating palm oil in a way that minimizes environmental impact and promotes the well-being of local communities. Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in our adherence to voluntary sustainability standards and our continuous efforts to develop greener industries.
Responsible Cultivation and Processing
We have two production plants located in the Central and Western regions of Ghana. These plants are equipped with state-of-the-art facilities for the cultivation and processing of oil palm. Our skilled workforce ensures that the palm oil is produced in accordance with the highest quality standards.
The cultivation process begins with the planting of oil palm seeds in our nurseries. These seeds are carefully selected to ensure high yields and optimal growth. Once the seedlings are ready, they are transplanted to our plantations, where they are nurtured and cared for until they reach maturity.
When the oil palm fruits are ripe, they are harvested and transported to our processing plants. The fruits are then processed to extract the fleshy mesocarp enclosing the oil-rich kernel. This process involves the separation of the crude palm oil (CPO) and palm kernel oil (PKO) through a series of mechanical and chemical processes.
One of the key steps in the processing of palm oil is degumming, which removes impurities from the oil. This ensures that the final product meets the highest quality standards. The resulting CPO and PKO are then further refined to produce various palm oil products, including liquid olein fractions used in cooking oils and solid fats used in soaps and washing powders.
Social Responsibility and Community Development
At DOS Palm Oil Ghana Ltd, we recognize the importance of supporting rural development and improving the livelihoods of local communities. We work closely with farmers and local cooperatives to provide training and resources that enhance their productivity and income.
Through our community development initiatives, we aim to address social issues and contribute to the well-being of the communities in which we operate. We support education programs, healthcare facilities, and infrastructure development to improve the quality of life for local residents.
