The world production of oils extracted from the oil palm (Guinean Elaeis Jacq.) has grown by more than 300% in recent years. In Brazil, the crop underwent an expansion cycle, with an increase in the cultivated area from 103 thousand hectares in 2009 to 236 thousand hectares in 2016. Although 97% of production is destined for the food industry, there is a worldwide trend towards increased application of oil in new markets, including energy. Given the potential of the species as a producer of plant biomass and its comparative advantages, such as a scenario of rapid growth in world production, favorable edaphoclimatic conditions in the Cerrado - Amazon transition region for cultivation, in addition to having a robust socio-environmental base, it is intended to recommend reference parameters for the crop in a transition region between Cerrado and Amazon biomes. Through evaluations of productivity of fresh bunches, oil yield, photosynthetic characterization of plants under water stress, comparative performance of cultivars, water management and detailed study of oil quality and its applications, we will meet the main purpose of bringing increments in average productivity national level and expansion of the oil's functionalities. Two experiments will be used as a basis, in the production phase, implemented in the state of Mato Grosso (Sinop and Rondonópolis) and a multidisciplinary team (Embrapa Western Amazon, Embrapa Cerrados, UFMT, UnB, Embrapa Instrumentação Agropecuária, IMA and Embrapa Agrosilvipastoril). In this way, it is expected that the Brazilian production of oil palm grows sustainably in new cultivation regions, with environmental, social and economic benefits, which will be transmitted to food products, chemicals and biodiesel produced from its oils.
