Oil Palm is the highest yielding crop compared to all vegetable oil seed crops which can yield up to 20-25 MTs FFBs and in turn to 4-5 MTs of Palm Oil and 0.4-0.5 MT Palm Kernel Oil (PKO). Palm oil constitutes about 80% of total edible Oil import, and hence Oil palm is identified as one of the potential crop which significantly contribute to increase in edible Oils production in the Country.
