എണ്ണപ്പനയുടെ വിത്തുകളാണിവ. ഇതിൽ നിന്നാണ് നമുക്ക് പാം ഓയിൽ ലഭിക്കുന്നത്. ആഫ്രിക്കയിലെയും ഏഷ്യയിലെയും പല രാജ്യങ്ങളിലും എണ്ണപ്പനകൾ വളരുന്നു, പക്ഷേ പലപ്പോഴും മഴക്കാടുകളായിരുന്ന ഭൂമിയിലാണ് വളരുന്നത്. മഴക്കാടുകൾ ഒരു പ്രധാന കാർബൺ സിങ്കും വന്യജീവി ആവാസവ്യവസ്ഥയും തദ്ദേശവാസികളുടെ ആവാസ കേന്ദ്രവുമാണ്, പക്ഷേ വ്യാവസായിക എണ്ണപ്പന തോട്ടങ്ങൾക്ക് വഴിയൊരുക്കുന്നതിനായി ഈ കാടുകൾ കത്തിക്കുന്നു. യുകെയിലെ സൂപ്പർമാർക്കറ്റുകളിൽ, പിസ്സ മുതൽ ഷാംപൂ വരെയുള്ള പാക്കേജുചെയ്ത ഉൽപ്പന്നങ്ങളിൽ ഏകദേശം 50% പാം ഓയിൽ കാണപ്പെടുന്നു.

നിങ്ങളുടെ വീട്ടിൽ പാം ഓയിൽ ഉള്ള എന്തെങ്കിലും ഉണ്ടോ?

Comments from Divya about the translation

This is an object from the Manchester Museum collection translated from English to the Indian language Malayalam.

Malayalam is a Dravidian language spoken very commonly in the Southern state of India called Kerala along with Indian territories Lakshadweep and Mahé, Puducherry.

Manchester has a vibrant Malayali community and a Manchester Malayalee association comprising of people from all age groups. This signifies the importance of having a translation in Malayalam of the museum objects thereby making the museum experience more welcoming, inclusive and wholesome.

    Notes on culture
    There has been a polarizing discourse concerning palm oil in Italy for several years. Many Italian brands have changed their recipes and stopped using palm oil and this change was normally always prominently advertised on the packaging. One of the most surprising exceptions is the brand Ferrero which still uses palm oil in many of its products including the exceptionally popular Nutella. On Nutella’s official website, the company dedicated an entire page to their use of palm oil and states that they are very careful to use only 100% certified and sustainable palm oil that is entirely traceable. Many Italians still decided to boycott Ferrero, but the vast majority still purchased their products. For instance, when the Nutella biscuits were first released in Italian supermarkets, they were flying off the shelves for weeks.
    However, in late 2022 there have been some new controversies surrounding the use of palm oil in Nutella. One of Ferrero’s main suppliers of palm oil is the Sime Darby plantation in Malaysia. A recent investigation which came to fruition in the spring of 2022 provided serious allegations of forced labour in the Sime Darby plantation. Therefore, Ferrero decided to discontinue supplies of palm oil from Sime Darby for the time being. It will be interesting to see how Ferrero will respond and if they will ever stop using palm oil. Nutella still remains incredibly popular worldwide but the environmental and societal impact of the product may need to be subject to further scrutiny.
