-The market of plant oils is dominated by a few crops, notably oil palm (35 %), soybean (27 %), rapeseed (16 %) and sunﬂower (9 %). At the same time, demand for plant oils is continuously growing, in the food, energy and chemical sector alike.

In addition, the eco-physiological requirements of the oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) equal those of rainforest vegetation. Hence, oil palm production inevitably competes for land area with rainforest. The advantage of oil palm is its extraordinarily high oil yield potential and resulting low production costs.
