Description
Crude Palm Oil (CPO)
Crude Palm Oil (CPO) is the unrefined form of palm oil, extracted directly from the mesocarp of the palm fruit. Known for its bright reddish-orange hue due to its high carotene content, CPO is a raw, versatile product used extensively in the food industry, animal feed production, and as a base for refined palm oil products.
