  • How palm fruit is pressed in palm oil press machine?
  • Palm fruit after digesting enters into oil expeller for palm oil pressing. After bunch reception, bunch sterilizing, threshing and digesting, the palm fruits are pressed into a screw palm oil press. Mixture of oil and cake will be extracted by use of palm oil press machine.
  • Which oil is imported by Egypt?
  • It is clear that palm oil is the major oil imported by Egypt whereby it represents about 60% of total imported oils in 2018 while the quantity imported from corn oil is the least being about 3% in the same year.
