Chimeremeze Emeh

Palm Oil & Cassava Enthusiast

I am Chimeremeze, a writer and researcher with deep-rooted experience in processing, consuming, and utilizing locally produced palm oil products, including red palm oil, palm kernel oil, and refined palm oil. Growing up in a community surrounded by towering palm trees, we embraced every part of this nature’s gift—drinking its wine, using the fronds for fencing, crafting brooms from its leaves, and turning its sturdy trunks into communal benches.

My passion for the palm tree and its countless benefits drives my research and writing, shedding light on its significance to West Africa and beyond. I also explore the impact of cassava, another staple crop that has shaped Africa and influenced the world.
