Oil palm smallholders urged to adopt tech to increase yield plantation think tank
KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 15): The oil palm industry, especially the half million smallholders, need to do more for their oil palm cultivation business despite working with lower plantation acreage to earn a better living, and this can be done through mechanisation and adoption of technology, according to a plantation industry think tank.
Sharing their views on the second day of the Future-Proofed Palm Oil (FPPO) 2020 International Summit and Exhibition, the eight panellists featured today believed that the smallholders cannot move away but need to change, in order to better manage their field and increase their yields.
