Expected Malaysian palm oil production in 1996 and observations on age effects in some oil palm yield components.
This paper reports first on the short-term prediction for Malaysian crude palm oil (CPO) production in 1996, and secondly, highlights some observations on the age effects in three oil palm yield components (mean bunch weight, bunch number per palm and fresh fruit bunch per ha). CPO production is expected to remain at about 7.7 Mt in 1996. The rather static production is attributed to abnormal rainfall in Peninsular Malaysia in 1994 and the effects of the oil palm yield cycle.
