Contributing factors toward the percentage increment of oil palm extraction rate (OER) / Azim Faiq Abd Malek

Oil Extraction Rate (OER) is one of the important aspects that can contribute to the income of a plantation. It represents the revenue from their production.The OER is used as an assessment unit to measure the performance of a mill or plantation and is influenced by the amount of oil realized for each hectare of land under cultivation. In simpler terms, a higher percentage in the OER would mean that more oil could be extracted from the fruits.This study will help the oil palm plantation to maximize their profït by maximizing the OER of their palm oil. The research method is designed to detennine the effect of plantation management on the percentage of oil palm extraction rate. The independent variables are Harvesting, Loose fruit coUection, Length of talk and Transportation. This study took place at FELDA all across the state of Negeri Sembilan. The descriptive approach was used in this study to determine factor increasing of OER toward the increasing revenue of the plantation. This research will analyze data by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Purpose of this study is to find what factor contribute more in the increment of OER percentage. The research conclude that harvesting is the most significant factor in increasing the OER.
