VISION
We envision a medium scale palm oil plantation and mill in Oyo State, Nigeria, including a 1000 hectare (2500 acre) plantation of Tenera-type hybrid oil palm trees producing 5 and 10 million kg of fresh fruit bunches of palm fruit per year, and a mill that will process this fruit to yield  more than 1 million litres of cooking grade palm oil annually.

MISSION
The American-Nigerian Palm Oil Producing Corporation was formed to help bring economic development to the people of rural Oyo State, Nigeria, to provide an example of ethical business conduct, and to assist The Good Samaritan Society of America in its vision to serve these people with education and health care. ANPOP is a for-profit enterprise that will, through its Nigerian subsidiary ANPOP-NAMPOP Ltd, provide jobs and economic stimulus to the area. Once profitable, ANPOP will make significant financial contributions to the programs of The Good Samaritan Society Mission in Fiditi, Nigeria.

STATUS
Currently, we have planted approximately 200 acres with about 8,000 trees, which have begun to bear fruit.  After producing approximately 50 litres of oil in 2009 and around 100 litres of oil in 2010, the 2011 harvest produced about 710 litres of oil. We purchased three 220 litre barrels to hold this year's production (see below for a picture of one), and have begun plans for installing our own processing equipment in January of 2012.  See the Reports page for the analysis of the harvest through 2010. The harvest report for 2011 will be updated when the season is more or less complete in August.

OVERVIEW
See the History page for a brief photo history of the project.  More photos can be found on the Photos page, with a few detailed reports linked under Reports.  Check out the Maps and the new Videos!  Questions or comments? Go to the Contact Us page.
