the oil palm with highest yielding
The oil palm is a perennial crop which starts yielding palm fruits for oil about three years after planting and it has a continual productive lifespan of 25-30 year.Furthermore, with the total yield of about 4.5 t (4 t palm oil and 0.5 t palm kernel oil) per hectare, it is the most productive oil crop in the world, being 10 times more productive then soyabean, which produces only about 0.45 t of oil per hectare. This means that to produce the same volume of oil, oil palm will only need one-tenth of the area required by soyabean.
