Palm Oil Seeds
Elaeis guineensis
Our Palm Oil Seeds
Our Palm Oil seeds are bred by a primary seed producer who has the benefit of R&D protocol dating back to 1930.
We are fortunate that the current planting material, comprised of mainly DxD crosses has gone through generations of vigourous selection and introgression of diverse varieties such as Ekona (high oil to bunch), Bameda (high altitude palms),La Me (short and drought tolerant), Oleifera (high unsaturated oil and low height increment), Yangambi (early yield).
Generations of stringent selection has resulted in highly uniform planting
material.
Palm Oil Comparison
A comparison between SIRIM (Malaysian Govt Palm Oil Seed Certifying Authority) and our minimum qualifying requirement with regards to the mother palm and progeny (offspring) performance is given below.

The extra oil yield (3.96ton) at USD$700/ton will earn an extra USD$2772/Ha every year.
This is our minimum standard not our average yield.
