The African palm tree, commonly known as the oil palm (Elaeis guineensis), is a tropical plant native to West Africa. It is primarily cultivated for its fruit, which is processed to extract palm oil, a widely used cooking oil and ingredient in various food products, cosmetics, and biofuels. The tree can grow up to 20 meters tall and produces clusters of small, reddish fruits. Due to its economic importance, oil palm cultivation has expanded significantly, leading to both agricultural development and environmental concerns, particularly related to deforestation and habitat loss.
