Process of making red oil
The process of getting red oil is very stressful and can be seen as hard job for ladies unless she's been assisted. When you must have gathered your palm fruit, you cover it with tampons so that the fruits can easily be selected. in 3 days time you select the fruits and take it to oil mill where you cook the palm fruit for like 3-4hours depending on the heat of the fire.
must jobs in the production of the palm oil is usually done by men, because it is a very difficult one. so after boiling you take it over to the engine that will press out the oil. there is also an engine that separate the karnel from the chaff. this chaff is used for making fire.
