When it comes to agricultural productivity ,oil palm tree remain the most productive crop plants and when you compare it to other oil producing plants it still top the list of the most oil yielding plants .infact it remains the only tree that can yield two different type of oil from the same fruits all year round which are fresh palm oil FPO and palm kernel oil PKO.

Except you are doing something wrong at the farm or let me jokingly say your village people are against your success you can hardly loose money in oil palm farming .you have variety of products( palm oil ,palm kernel oil ,palm kernel cake) to produce and sell from the single plants hence it is only mismanagement on the side of the farmer that can lead to loss of investment in oil palm farming .

Within 3 to 4 years a well mentained single tenera oil palm tree can bear 8 fruits bunches which can yield between 15 to 20 litres of palm oil and total of 16 bunches of fruits annually under GOOD AGRONOMIC PRACTICE .therefore if you have 60 productive oil palm tree on an acre you can estimate the litres of oil you will obtained annually .whatever yield you obtained within the plant early years of fruition will increase in subsequent years .

Agriculture is not a rocket science ,it requires having the basic knowledge of what to do ,how to do it and when to do it and if all these are strictly adhere to your oil palm tree will reward you year in year out .

With the level of hardship this economy is facing we need to redirect our focus to producing cash crops which we can sell both locally and internationally so as we can earn more money to reduce the negative effect of inflation we are currently facing .
