 STRENGTHEN MANAGEMENT

Challenges in management:
Yields Lapse in Labour Costs Lower
management ratio OER

It is important to ensure
that the industry is more Robust Resilient Reliable
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 3 /////
 Back to Basics
• Urgent need for efficient management
• Crop losses
• Practice good harvesting and crop recovery
• Effective water management
• Better management of pest and diseases
• Do more with less (i.e. higher productivity/less workers)
• Proper training and supervision

 Using palm biomass at time of replanting:
Using • reduces fertilisers, improve soil and organic matter
• ensure appropriate land preparation to prevent pest
