  • How much palm oil does Peru produce?
  • Over the past five years, Peru palm oil production has ranged from 42,000 to 57,000 metric tons, with output for 2016/17 estimated at 38,000 metric tons, less than 1 percent of the estimated global output of 65.5 million metric tons.
  • Why is mechanisation important for oil palm industry?
  • The success of mechanisation can be attributed to good management of machineries. Proper training to workers is essential to ensure less maintenance to the machineries The time has come for local engineering firms to be involved in producing machinery for our oil palm industry.
  • How can we improve the productivity of oil palms?
  • Increase mechanisation - increase productivity per worker. Machines and implements should match terrain conditions, land size, management preferences and economic returns. Direct adoption of machines for other crops - failed to meet requirements unique to the oil palm.
  • Why does Peru have a large palm plantation?
  • Peruvian palm area increased from 11,000 hectares in 2006 to 38,000 hectares in 2012 due to the expansion of commercial, high-yield oil palm plantations, but expansion has slowed in recent years due to a variety of factors, primarily depressed global vegetable oil prices.
  • What technologies are used in oil palm plantations?
  • The document discusses technologies used in oil palm plantations, including mechanized harvesting, fruit collection and evacuation, loose fruit collection, and field maintenance.
  • Why is demand for palm oil increasing?
  • Demand for palm oil is likely to increase as global population and purchasing power grows, particularly given the current absence of alternatives. This increased demand creates market pressure to increase supply.
