Sustainable Industry Precursors
Hacienda La Cabaña is a pioneer company in Colombia in the palm oil industry . If there is a company which the oil palm plantations should follow , it is this one . As precursors in the Colombian market , they have been in operation since 1961 , when they began production with only 50 hectares .
“ At first , palm developed very slowly due to infrastructure difficulties and the absence of federal incentives ,” says Camilo Colmenares , CEO of the company .
The road has been long for Hacienda La Cabana , who , after years planting and harvesting , built their first extraction plant in the mid-1970s . Since then , they have increased their acreage space 100 times as well as their extraction plant capacity of 30 tons per hour in the process of palm fruit and 70 tons per day in the process palm kernel .
Vision and Leadership in the Production of High Oleic Palm Oil Hacienda La Cabaña ’ s core market is Bogota , capital of Colombia ; and within their projected growth overseas their main markets are in Central America , Mexico and the United States , given their proximity to the ocean and to the Panama Canal . Additionally , they seek to offer their products to European markets .
