Bilangan Dan Berat Buah Tandan Kelapa Sawit

10 - 12 buah tandan boleh dihasilkan oleh pokok matang kelapa sawit setahun . Setiap pokok matang akan menghasilkan buah berat 20 kg sebulan.  Oleh itu setiap pokok hasilkan 10 x 20 = 200 kg x .50 = RM 100. (Jika harga kilang RM500/tan) .Tanam 1000 pokok = RM100,000.00. Untuk menjana pendapatan 1 juta setahun kenalah menanam 10,000 sawit / 148 = 68 ha.


SIRIM & MPOB Licensed Seeds
AA DxP seeds and seedlings are licensed by SIRIM and MPOB.
Superior Pedigree Seeds
AA DxP seeds are produced from selected dura and pisifera parents derived from superior pedigrees, which are featured in the best DxP seeds produced locally and internationally.
Ulu Remis Deli duras are known for their uniform high yield and good oil extraction characteristics. La Me and Dabou Deli duras have been selected for high bunch weight, good oil extraction and short stature. In the production of AA DxP seeds, attempts are made to combine the best attributes of these pedigrees to give rise to palms with high oil yield and a small palm stature, important attributes in our increasingly scarce and costly labour market.
AA DxP pisifera parents inherit the high bunch yield characteristic of S27B, AVROS and Yangambi, the high oil extraction of AVROS and Yangambi and the short stature of the Dumpy and the Yangambi parents.
The next generation of AA pisiferas (Dy.Ybi.AVROS) will combine the best features of Dy.AVROS and Ybi.AVROS pisiferas.

Shortage of oil palm seedlings

Shortage of oil palm seedlings

Demand set to rise as Sarawak steps up development of oil palm plantations
KUCHING: Sarawak, which is facing a shortage of oil palm seedlings, is expected to see rising demand as the state has yet to develop a quarter of its target of one million hectares of oil palm plantations, said State Assistant Minister in the Chief Minister’s Department Naroden Majais.

He told an oil palm seedling entrepreneurship course here recently that Sarawak needed 16.4 million seedlings last year but the supply only amounted to 10 million.
Juara Beetuah Sdn Bhd managing director Michael James attributed the shortage in Sarawak, especially over the past two years, mainly to exports of oil palm seedlings to Kalimantan, Indonesia.

He said such sales had however abated as the Indonesian plantations, most of which were owned by Malaysian firms, had started their own nurseries.
Juara Beetuah, a major seedling producer and the only company in Sarawak awarded the competency certificate by Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB), owns nurseries in Lundu (Kuching Division), Bintulu and Lawas in northern Sarawak.
Some EU MPs on a visit to Malaysia say the sector has helped take people out of poverty
James said his company produced up to 100,000 seedlings a year, which were mainly supplied to MPOB. The latter then distributes them to smallholders

Juara Beetuah’s other customers are government agencies like Sarawak Land Consolidation and Rehabilitation Authority and Felda, which are involved in plantation projects.
“We produce based on advance contracts. On top of that, we produce another 10% for the market,” he told StarBiz.

Juara Beetuah uses high-yield clones that are able to produce between 28 and 33 tonnes of fresh fruit bunches per hectare a year.
However, James said the output would depend on several factors such as soil conditions and plantation management methods.
The company sells seedlings for RM8 to RM12 each, depending on transportation costs.

Sarawak needs more oil palm seedlings

Sarawak needs more oil palm seedlings

KUCHING: Sarawak needs to produce more oil palm seedlings to meet a shortage faced by plantations in the state. Assistant Minister in the Chief Minister's Department Naroden Majais said the state was short of some 6mil seedlings last year.

"We required 16.4mil seedlings last year but were only able to supply 10mil seedlings. Each new hectare of oil palm requires about 200 seedlings," he said. He added that demand for seedlings would continue to rise because Sarawak was targeting 1mil ha of oil palm plantations, out of which 250,000ha have yet to be developed.

"The land has already been identified and we will develop it in stages. This will require more seedlings, while existing plantations will also need seedlings to replace their older trees. "So there is a big opportunity for local entrepreneurs to produce seedlings on a commercial basis," he said when opening an oil palm seedling entrepreneurship course here Tuesday.

The two-day course, organised by the Bumiputera Entrepreneurship Development Unit in the Chief Minister's Department and the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB), was attended by 45 participants. The unit's adviser Datuk Adzmy Abdullah estimated that Sarawak would need 500ha of nurseries to supply the targeted 1mil ha of oil palm plantations. He said there were currently 130 entrepreneurs in the state cultivating oil palm seedlings but more were needed to meet current and future demand. "For example, there are only four certified nurseries in Mukah supplying 20,000ha of plantations," he said.

He also said cultivating seedlings was a potentially lucrative industry as the production cost was about RM5 per seedling compared to a selling price of RM10 to RM15 for a year-old seedling. On the course, Adzmy said, the participants would sit for theory and practical tests at the end. Those who passed will receive the Oil Palm Nursery Certificate of Competency from MPOB.

Smallholders can help boost palm oil yield

By Rupa Damodaran

The Malaysian palm oil industry can improve its current productivity of four tonnes oil yield per hectare by improving on the productivity of smallholders, says Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister Tan Sri Bernard Dompok. "Smallholders productivity can be enhanced through new technology and good agricultural practices," he said at the launch of the International Palm Oil Sustainability Conference 2010 in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, yesterday.

Oil palm smallholders who include those under Felda, Risda and Felcra are expected to raise their current level of below 3.5 tonnes to 4.0 tonnes by 2014, with the support of the replanting scheme by the government to replace old low-yielding trees. Dompok said the current productivity is about 20 per cent of its theoretical potential oil yield of about 17 to 18 tonnes per hectare.

Malaysia, the second largest producer and major exporter of palm oil, last year produced 17.56 million tonnes of palm oil and exported close to 15.87 million tonnes..The total revenue generated from the exports of palm oil and its products in 2009 was valued at RM49.59 billion, or 7.5 of the country's gross domestic product.

Dompok said the world today has a fair and substantial quantity of RSPO certified and sustainable palm oil from producer nations including Malaysia. However, the uptake of Certified Sustainable Palm Oil has been extremely slow. Although research has proven that palm oil is the better oil, there are moves to label palm oil in food products. These include the proposal to the Australian Senate to label palm oil products in isolation from other food products and linking it to issues such as deforestation and the endangerment of the orang utan.

"This proposal has the consequence to disadvantage palm oil and impede trade and consumption of this nutritional product," he said.

Dompok said for every hectare of oil palm, Malaysia preserves four hectrae of permanent forest, which is a very healthy balance in terms of land use policy. Meanwhile, Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC) chairman Datuk Lee Yeow Chor, commenting on the European Union's recent statement that 90 per cent of Malaysia's palm oil exports will not be affected by the Renewable Energy Directive, said:

"For us, even the remaining 10 per cent is of concern ... we want to correct the misconception that affect the demand of our palm oil."

Lee said the MPOC is well-geared to tackle issues such as the blame for loss of wildlife habitat and biodiversity. The RM20 million Malaysian Palm Oil Wildlife Conservation Fund has enabled the survey of orang utan population in Sabah together with the Sabah Wildlife and the Borneo Conservation Trust and Hutan NGOs. Yesterday, MPOC signed a memorandum of understanding with the Sabah Wildlife Department and Shangri-Rasa Ria Resort for the funding and launch of the Sabah Wildlife Rescue and Care Centre.
