This study assessed the quality of palm oil and soil from Ihube community, Okigwe L.G.A of Imo state in October 2015. The soil samples were collected from the top soil and the palm oil were collected immediately after extraction. Palm oil and soil were analyzed using standard analytical methods and the results obtained were compared to standards. The physicochemical analysis of the soil samples showed that ranges of EC (323.33±0.57-480.33±1.53 us/cm); Moisture Content (MC) ranged from 20.9±0.80 to 40.8±0.10); %SOM (1.92±0.61-4.85±0.01) which were within the acceptable limits while CEC, iron content and lead were not significant. Palm oil samples had MC (0.32±0.09%) which was above the acceptable limit. The oil was acidic and free fatty acid (FFA) result for 10days showed even much acidic ranges from (2.15±0.01 to 6.07±0.05 mgNaOH/g) with Fe, (2.00±0.01 to 5.43±0.51 mgNaOH/g) with Pb and (1.27±0.03 to 5.04±0.03 mgNaOH/g) without contamination. This was tested using anova at p < 0.05 respectively and there was a significant difference between the results. However, the result obtained from these areas shows good quality soil for palm tree cultivation.
