This report informs about the survey and study on the vegetable oil and fat industry status in 1982, which data are based on the questionnaires received from 17 % of the total number of oil and fat plants in Thailand. Other data were collected from many information centers and also from the surveys and observations of a few vegetable oil factories around. The report covers various topics such as production and marketing status of vegetable oils, roles and policies stated by the government on the vegetable oil industries, status and problems of vegetable oil manufacturing, etc. From the surveys, it can be concluded that even vegetable oil industries have been evolving for more than 20 years, they still mostly confront with raw material problems in both quantity and quality points. Besides, small scale oil plants meet also processing problems such as low efficiency manufacturing, low quality products and non-appropriate quality control. Other minor problems are such as management and marketing problems on both raw materials and oil product competitions. all these stated problems result in low production of vegetable oil plants when compared to their real capacity at present. In order to solve the problems and eliminate those barriers in vegetable oil processing, TISTR concluded in this report the approaches and opportunities to develop the research works in the following areas : research on raw materials, research on oil processing and research on marketing.
