Colombian palm.
An origin with scale, science and a long track record.
Before TROPIQEM, there is a Colombian industry that grows, researches, processes and exports this material.
A value chain that already reaches the world.
Colombia produced 1.93 million tonnes of palm oil in 2025, the highest volume recorded by the sector.
That year, crude palm oil exports reached 583,000 tonnes.
- 1.93M t
- produced in 2025
- 583,000 t
- exported in 2025
Field. Industry. Science.
Colombian palm has developed over decades around growers, mills, research and technological development.
Fedepalma brings the industry together, while Cenipalma works on research, knowledge transfer and technological development.
An origin that can be measured.
Fedepalma reports that 99% of the area planted with oil palm in Colombia is deforestation-free.
The sector also uses satellite monitoring and geolocation and traceability tools.
- 99%
- of planted oil-palm area is reported as deforestation-free
That is where we start.
TROPIQEM is built on a value chain that already grows, researches, processes and exports.
Our work is to take that material into new applications through specialty chemistry.
