Reviews
This book Impacts and Challenges in Oil Palm Production and Downstream Applications highlights the academia views of the oil palm industry especially on the sustainability of certain aspect of upstream activities as well as on palm oil processing and biomass utilization. Oil palm being the most productive and sustainable oil bearing crop in the world deserve such highlights. This mini compilation would be a complement to a dozen of existing books by many well-known experts in the oil palm industry globally.” – Ahmad Parveez Ghulam Kadir, Deputy Director General (R & D), Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB)
“I find the book to be different from the usual books related to oil palm. Firstly, this book covers topics that are of great interest currently such as sustainability and biomass. Secondly, it is holistic and covers important topics both upstream and downstream. Thirdly, the chapters are covered in great depth, making the book a useful read to those who seek new knowledge and information. Fourthly, I noted that the book provides the reader with the latest information.” – F.K. Yew, Senior Fellow/Consultant, Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC)
