OIL PALM
OIL PALM AT WEPPA FARM
The existing 1,300 hectare oil palm plantation will be expanded to 1,500 hectares in 2019. We already have sufficient palms in our nursery to achieve this aim. Once the 1,500 hectare plantation reaches full maturity in 2026, crude oil production will exceed 4,000 M/T. As land is cleared a second oil palm plantation will be created.
