1. Fresh Fruit Bunch (FFB)

According to Malaysia Palm Oil Council, in Malaysia, oil palm trees are planted mainly of tenera variety, a hybrid between the dura and pisifera. Oil palm trees can survive and productive to produce fruit for up to 20 to 30 years, and will start fruting within 30 months after planting.

Area is one of the important factors on oil palm production. In the last two decades, the private sector played important role to drive for growth which is in the production and the research and development of palm oil. In 1980 to 2002, the planted area which is under privately-owned plantations firms had increased from 557659 hectares to 2,187,750 hectares. The largest part of these developments is being in the states of Sabah and Sarawak. But for the sustainable development of oil palm, we need a right land constraint.
