The Question That Started It All:
Could we produce world-class, ethically sourced palm kernel oil, right here in resource-rich Nigeria?
The Answer?
To craft world-class, ethically sourced palm kernel oil, we turned to the strength of Nigeria itself.
With fertile land, resilient people, and deep agricultural heritage, Nigeria offers us everything we need and more. By working with local communities and respecting the ecosystem, we have discovered not just quality ingredients, but a shared purpose in producing something great.
Our Mission:
To produce world-class, ethically sourced palm kernel oil that uplifts local communities, restores ecosystems, and redefines the global palm trade from the ground up — starting in Nigeria.
Why Palm Kernel Oil?
Everything starts with land usage: Energy, resources, water, deforestation, all stem from how much land is required to produce the oil. And our oil uses the least.
Land required for 1 tonne of oil (approx)
To produce the same volume of oil, sunflower oil demands roughly four times more land than palm kernel oil, and Soybean oil requires over seven times more land than palm kernel oil per tonne of oil produced.
Because oil palm yields far more oil per hectare per year, it can supply global vegetable-oil demand using far less farmland — which, if managed responsibly, reduces pressure on land expansion and deforestation.
At CE Oil, we harness this land‑efficiency advantage responsibly. We source only from smallholders, enforcing no‑deforestation standards, and maximising yield per hectare without expanding into new forest.
We’re All About Good Oil.
How We Operate:
CE Oil is a social enterprise — balancing profit with purpose. Our success is measured in livelihoods improved, land preserved, and local economies strengthened.
-
Community Wealth Creation
100% of our workforce is locally hired. We train, pay, and empower Nigerian talent to lead world-class operations.
-
Ethical Farming Practices
No deforestation. No land grabs. All our oil is grown on existing smallholder farmland with full community consent.
-
Traceable & Transparent
Every litre of oil we sell is traceable to the source — down to the region, farmer group, and processing batch.
-
Circular Economy Approach
From waste biomass reuse to regenerative soil practices, we extract more value with less environmental cost.
