Palm Oil Yield – 2013

On one of our Palm Oil plot we recorded the yield for the year 2013.

On our 5 acre plot total yield was around 65 tones which translate to 13 tons / acre. This is the highest recorded yield on our farm so far. Last couple of years it was around 10 tons per acre.

Palm oil has to be harvested throughout the year every fortnight, but 75% of yield is between May and Sep.

Price paid to farmers was decided by OILFED based on a predefined formula. OILFED declares the price per ton every month. Price paid to farmers was in the range between 5800 – 7900 in 2013.
