South Dagon palm oil mill boosts production to meet domestic demand

To meet domestic palm oil demand, the South Dagon Palm Oil mill is producing 1,200 tonnes of refined palm oil per month. This oil will be distributed and sold at a reasonable price.
Located on Bago River Road in Dagon Myothit (Seikkan) Township, Yangon Region, the mill operates with 85 employees. The mill currently produces 2,000 tonnes of crude palm oil each month, which has been increased to 1,200 tonnes of refined palm oil to satisfy local consumption better.
The South Dagon Palm Oil Refinery processes oil from 14,600 acres of oil palm plantations in Bokpyin Township, Taninthayi Region. The crude palm oil is transported to the Yangon refinery, where it is refined into final products.
The mill aims to operate at full capacity to reduce the need for imported palm oil. — ASH/TKO
