Abstract
The presentation will examine the opportunities for palm oil and palm fractions in North America stemming from the new regulations requiring the labeling of trans fatty acid (TFA) content in foods. It will compare the evolution of imports of palm oil and palm oil fractions into North America with the outlook for other alternative oils, including novel oilseeds and corn and cottonseed oils. It will also compare the costs of supplying palm oil and its fractions as well as of novel oils, relative to the costs of hydrogenating soybean oil. The presentation will conclude with an assessment of the potential opportunities for palm oil as well as for investment in alternative processing technologies in North America. Se analiza en esta presentación las oportunidades que tienen el aceite de palma y sus fracciones en Norteamérica con base en la nueva reglamentación que requiere la rotulación del contenido de ácidos grasos trans (TFA, por su sigla en inglés) en las comidas. El objetivo es hacer una comparación sobre la evolución de las importaciones de aceite de palma y sus fracciones a Estados Unidos con la visión general de otros aceites alternativos, incluyendo nuevas oleaginosas y aceites de maíz y de semilla de algodón. De igual modo, también hace una comparación sobre los costos de suministro del aceite de palma y sus fracciones y de los nuevos aceites, con relación a los costos de hidrogenación del aceite de soya. Finalmente, la presentación concluye con una evaluación de las oportunidades potenciales para el aceite de palma, al igual que para la inversión en tecnologías alternativas de procesamiento en Norteamérica.
