Palm oil is extracted from the mature fresh fruit bunches (FFBs) of oil palm plantations. One hectare of oil palm yields approximately 20 FFBs, which when crushed yields 6 tons of oil (including the kernel oil, which is used both for edible and industrial purposes). 'Volatility' is at 'its highest' in case of palm oil. Being the sole oil dominating the international edible oil trade, it almost 'makes' the price of vegetable oils traded across the globe; more so for India owing to its high dependence.
