Palm oil produces more oil per hectare than any other major vegetable oil crop, at 3.3 metric tons per hectare. In comparison, soybeans produced just 0.4 metric tons per hectare. Palm oil comes from the oil palm fruit, and has been growing in demand in recent decades. This has seen the area of land harvested for oil palm fruits increase from 10.4 million hectares to more than 28 million hectares since the turn of the century.
