  • How has field mechanization changed the oil palm plantation industry?
  • Advancements in field mechanization for the oil palm plantation industry have, over the years, involved the introduction of machines and implements that are adapted to local terrain conditions. A suitable choice of machines is dependant on land size, terrain conditions, management preferences and economic returns.
  • Can machines be used in oil palm plantation?
  • The direct adoption of machines developed for some other crops invariably failed to meet requirements unique to the oil palm. The challenge is, therefore, to specifically develop machines for use in the oil palm plantation.
  • Why were machines developed for oil palm farms?
  • For the estates, machines were developed to reduce the labour requirement and operational costs while the tasks can be completed within the specific time frame. The direct adoption of machines developed for some other crops invariably failed to meet requirements unique to the oil palm.
  • Why do oil palm plantations need a semi-automatic harvesting machine?
  • The comfortable, safe and use green energy. They too need to be semi-automated, so that more locals are attracted to work in the oil palm plantations. Narrow terraces and customers. ABD RAHIM, S; ABDUL HALIM, H and AHMAD, H (1989). Development of harvesting machines for oil palm. PORIM Bulletin No. 19.
  • How many hectares of oil palm cultivated areas are suitable for mechanization?
  • Competitiveness, 20-22 August 2001, Kuala Lumpur. ... Thus, more than 3 million hectares of cultivated areas with oil palm are suitable for mechanization and requires engineering of the most appropriate and efficient schemes and technologies.
  • Can mechanization technologies be used in oil palm plantation?
  • The challenge is, therefore, to specifically develop machines for use in the oil palm plantation. Hence, this paper will describe the challenge and the success of trying to induce mechanization technologies to be adopted by the oil palm industries.
