Palm Oil Produces Profits

The most common cooking oil used in CEFA's part of Central Africa is
palm oil, a native of the area and it is in very high demand. CEFA has
connected with ag research stations that have selected very high
yielding varieties and planted 20 hectares (45 acres) on CEFA property.
The trees are starting to come into production and the traditional way
of extracting the oil is squeezing by hand. But in neighboring Cameroon,
they have come up with body powered presses that CEFA is using that can
produce 100 litres (or quarts) in a week's time. But even that press is
not keeping up with the harvest, so CEFA is researching a new model that
is driven by electricity. Thanks to a timely donation from the
Evangelical Covenant Church in Davis, California, CEFA will be able to
establish an agricultural products processing center. Construction of
the building will start soon. CEFA is truly blessed so that it can be a
blessing to others! More on this project later.
