Do you need palm oil? Would you like to analyze the evolution of your prices using a graph? Well, we have the ideal tool for you!
There are different tropical oil palm plants, according to the different species of the Elaeis genus (E. guineensis and E. oleIfera). Palm oil is obtained from the fruit of the plant. This fruit is made up of the pulp or fleshy part on the outside, called the mesocarp, and a seed inside. Both parts of the fruit have a high concentration of fat and are used to obtain oil.
Palm oil is widely used in the world for different applications due to its availability and versatility conditions. The production of palm oil is cheaper than that of its possible substitutes, soybean and coconut oil, or that of olive oil or sunflower oil, which is why it is used in processed and ultra-processed foods with vegetable oils. In addition, due to the amount of saturated and unsaturated fats it contains, it is a semi-solid fat at room temperature that contributes significantly to the smoothness of products, and makes it used in cocoa creams and margarines.
The food use of palm oil is not the only one, as it is also used in the cosmetics industry, in cleaning products and as a biofuel. Being so important due to its number of uses, many industries decide to invest in it. However, they must take into account its price and be able to compare it with other types of oil. For this, you will need to use a chart and Commodities-API is the tool that will help you to create them.
