Thai oil palm fresh fruit bunch (FFB) yield
~3-4 tonnes FFB/rai/yr
Average Thai oil palm yield is approximately 3-4 tonnes of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) per rai per year (~18-25 tonnes/ha), below the Malaysian average of ~20-22 t/ha. The yield gap reflects an older plantation profile and smaller-scale farm management. The Department of Agriculture extension program targets incremental yield improvement through improved planting material and fertiliser recommendations.
