Oil Palm Agroindustry 2019 Production Costs: a Benchmarking Study among Companies that Have Adopted Good Practices
This paper presents the results of a benchmarking study oriented towards estimating the 2019 production costs of Colombian oil palm producing companies. Participating in this study depended upon the will of the managers of the companies. It must be highlighted that the data is gathered at companies that are recognized for implementing good agricultural practices and good practices at their mills. The latter means that these results are a reference for growers and mill managers that are willing to improve their productive performance and the profitability of their businesses. In 2019, this study accounted for 29 oil palm plantations and 18 oil extraction mills, which correspond to 64.170 ha of crops out of 559.582 ha nationwide, this is 12% of the total area planted in Colombia with oil palm. Results indicate that unit costs for the group of companies evaluated in 2019 were COP 280.894 per metric ton of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) and COP 1.419.477 per metric ton of crude palm oil (CPO) for E. guineensis, while for OxG hybrids the study yielded unit costs of COP 293.450 per metric ton of FFB and COP 1.495.839 per metric ton of CPO. It was concluded that improving oil palm crop yields, expressed in terms of metric tons of FFB per hectare, requires greater investment of financial resources. However, the consequence is a lower unit cost which in turn implies greater profitability of the oil palm business.

Este documento presenta los resultados de un estudio de referenciación competitiva orientado a estimar los costos de producción de las empresas de la agroindustria de palma de aceite colombiana en 2019. La participación dependió de la voluntad de los directivos de las empresas. Cabe destacar que los datos se recopilaron en compañías reconocidas por la implementación de mejores prácticas agrícolas y en sus plantas de beneficio. Esto último significa que los resultados son una referencia para los productores que están dispuestos a mejorar su rendimiento productivo y la rentabilidad de sus negocios. En 2019, este estudio contó con la participación de 29 plantaciones de palma de aceite y 18 plantas de beneficio de aceite, que corresponden a 64.170 ha de cultivos de palma de aceite de un total de 559.582 ha sembradas en Colombia (12 % del área total en palma). Los resultados indicaron que los costos unitarios para el grupo de empresas evaluadas en 2019 fueron de $ 280.894 por tonelada de racimos de fruta fresca (RFF) y $ 1.419.477 por tonelada de aceite de palma crudo (APC) para E. guineensis, mientras que para los híbridos OxG el estudio arrojó costos unitarios de $ 293.450 por tonelada de RFF y $ 1.495.839 por tonelada de APC. Se llegó a la conclusión de que incrementar el rendimiento de los cultivos de palma, expresado en términos de toneladas métricas de RFF por hectárea, requiere de una mayor inversión de recursos financieros. Sin embargo, la consecuencia es un menor costo unitario que a su vez implica una mayor rentabilidad del negocio de la palma de aceite.
