SOPPOA Sees 15% Growth In CPO Output
Sarawak Oil Palm Plantation Owners’ Association (SOPPOA) expects output of crude palm oil (CPO) to grow 15% to 2.5m tonnes this year, as more oil palms mature and bear more fruits. Chairman Datuk Abdul Hamed Sepawi said the association members’ tree profile is pointing towards favourable output in the immediate years while Malaysia’s final expansion frontier is in Sarawak. As of Dec-10, Malaysia’s oil palm planted area totaled 4.85m hectares. In 2010, the Malaysian Palm Oil Board revealed that both Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah’s CPO output fell by 6% and 3% to 9.5m tonnes and 5.3m tonnes, respectively. Sarawak’s production, however, went up by 9% to 2.2m tonnes.
Significance: The prospects for Sarawak planters appear bright. The oil palm growth story lies in Sarawak with some 3m hectares of agriculture land yet to be cultivated. For the latest updates PRESS CTR + D or visit Stock Market news Today
