Replanting of our older palm stands continued as programmed. It is essential to replant the older stands of oil palm and maximise our productivity. Replanting allows for the newer improved planting material to reach our yield potential, and also reduces harvesting costs that are associated with the older taller palms, where the yield is declining. A young age profile is essential to improving productivity and maximizing yield.

In 2024 we continued with our replanting of Siam Palm estate, Wanee estate and Cha Uat estate. Best Management practices were carried out to ensure cover crop was reestablished to prevent erosion, especially in sloping areas. Empty fruit bunches have been used extensively in our replanting areas to restore organic matter and to mulch the young seedlings to retain moisture and suppress weed growth.
