These oils are produced in America.

Ramped up production will benefit the diets and the ecosystems of Americans.

Palm oil is not produced in America, Stryker, because oil palms are tropical plants, Arecaceaes. The African Oil Palm (Elaeis guineensis) is native to west Africa, occurring between Angola and Gambia, while the American Oil Palm (Elaeis oleifera) is native to tropical Central America and South America. Freezing temperatures kill both dead.

Please do try to avoid being an overly enthusiastic and uninformed shill for every bio feedstock that comes down the pipe.
