The growth of African countries depends on mastering the value chains of agricultural products, such as the oil palm. Indeed, the many uses of the oil palm-from harvesting palm nuts for red palm oil and palm kernel oil to using the sap for palm wine or distilled spirits, etc.-mean that this plant plays a key role in the economy of rural communities in Africa. In the specific case of palm kernel oil, rural communities have recognized its importance as a sustainable source of income through its production and marketing. Thus, traditional processing techniques have been passed down from generation to generation to ensure that these communities do not miss out on this opportunity. Analysis of the process has made it possible to describe this operation and demonstrate its profitability for these communities, which are often considered among the most vulnerable.

Breeding Oilseed Crops for Sustainable Production: Opportunities and Constraints
<i> <p>Breeding Oilseed Crops for Sustainable Production: Opportunities and Constraints</i> presents key insights into accelerating the breeding of sustainable and superior varieties. </p> <p>The book explores the genetic engineering/biotechnology that has played a vital role in transforming economically important traits from distant/wild species to cultivated varieties, enhancing the quality and quantity of oil and seed yield production. Integrated nutrient management, efficient water management, and forecasting models for pests diseases outbreaks and integrated pest and pest management have also added new dimensions in breeding for sustainable production. With the rise in demand, the scientific community has responded positively by directing a greater amount of research towards sustainable production both for edible and industrial uses. </p> <p>Covering the latest information on various major world oil crops including rapeseed mustard, sunflower, groundnut, sesame, oilpalm, cotton, linseed/flax, castor and olive, this book brings the latest advances together in a single volume for researchers and advanced level students. </p>
