This is an interesting article about the way palm oil processing was carried out in Brazil. Malaysian millers will certainly gain some insight by reading this article. This article is a summary of the findings of a team of research officers from the then Palm Oil Research Institute of Malaysia (PORIM) who visited a palm oil mill in Brazil in August 1997 to study their method of palm oil milling. It was compiled by Dr Ma Ah Ngan who was part of the team and was published in 1977. Mr Hararld Brunckhorst, Managing Director of AGROPALMA S/A, arranged the visit. The mill, Agropalma S/A, located at Belem, Brazil was a 100% Brazilian own corporation. It owned some 45 000 ha of land but only allowed to plant 16 000 ha with oil palm, 2000 ha for infrastructure, which includes two palm oil mills, laboratories, offices, a school and health-assistance units, while the rest are preserved as forest under the strict Brazilian law.
