The first palm cultivation started in 1979 by bringing plantation from Malaysia and Nigeria. In 1979, Cox's Bazar and Sylhet Forest Department were provided for transplantation of seedlings of six months of age. In 1981, 325 acres in Cox's Bazar, 278 acres in Chittagong and 180 acres in Sylhet totaled 784 acres of palm.

Importance of palm farming:
Bangladesh's current edible oil demand is around 12 lakh metric tons. Only 10 percent of the country's demand is produced in the country and 90 percent of the rest of the oil is dependent on foreign countries. If foreign palm is spent every year by importing palm and soybean oil in the country, then adequate palm cultivation is possible, saving foreign currency equivalent to 12,000 crores is possible. Weather and nature of Bangladesh is suitable for palm cultivation. Pomegranate produced in Malaysia is generally not more than 40 kg. But weighing 60 kg to 65 kg of bunks produced in Tangail of Bangladesh have been found. In addition, palm yields produced in Bangladesh are comparatively larger and grains are relatively small. In terms of palm oil production, Bangladesh is ahead of Malaysia.

On the other hand, soybean oil (20-35) ppm In sunflower oil (08-44) ppm and mustard oil (25-80) ppm Cholesterol exists. A comparative study of palm oil, soybean oil, peanut oil and pork (all containing fat) in China has shown that among these, palm oil increases the beneficial 'HDL' cholesterol levels in the body and is harmful 'LDL. ' Lowering cholesterol levels.
