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.
