About Us

Equatorial Palm Oil plc (EPO) is a UK publicly listed crude palm oil (CPO) producer founded in 2005 and focused on becoming a global, sustainable, low-cost production model through the reactivation and development of its existing oil palm estates and land bank in Liberia, West Africa.

• With a land bank of 169,000 hectares, EPO plans to develop 50,000 hectares for production in the next 10 years, doubling to 100,000 hectares in 20 years
• Operating Liberia’s only commercial palm oil mill, which was inaugurated in May 2011 by President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. It has a production capacity of 5 tonnes per hour of oil palm fresh fruit bunches
• EPO is part of a joint-venture with Biopalm Energy Limited, a subsidiary of the SIVA Group, which has paved the way for accelerated development of land  and the rehabilitation of 3,500 ha of existing plantation
• Significant investment in local communities, building roads, schools and health clinics. We employ 1,000 staff and plan to increase that to 20,000, making us one of the largest employers in Liberia
• Geographically well located for regional supply. Nearly 1 million tonnes of crude palm oil are imported into West Africa each year and demand continues to grow. By supplying the local market, EPO will help in reducing imports and making a positive impact on the community and regional economy
