Defatted Palm Kernel Meal
Defatted palm kernel meal is produced by solvent extraction that removes most oil from palm kernels, resulting in a high-protein (18-20%) powder used in monogastric animal feeds. Its low fat content makes it suitable for broiler chicken diets. As a solid residue from oil extraction, it falls under tariff item 2306.60.00.
