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.
