  • Can mechanization improve productivity in oil palm plantation?
  • Thus, this study was initiated to introduce a mechanization in the oil palm plantation to assist workers in achieving higher productivity and simultaneously with mechanically assisted tools, workers could perform tasks that are less strenuous to their body.
  • Why is mechanisation important for oil palm industry?
  • The success of mechanisation can be attributed to good management of machineries. Proper training to workers is essential to ensure less maintenance to the machineries The time has come for local engineering firms to be involved in producing machinery for our oil palm industry.
  • How is mechanization used in oil palm plantation in Malaysia?
  • This paper is to grasp detail understanding on the history of mechanization used in oil palm plantation specifically for harvesting in Malaysia. For the traditional and method, wheelbarrow is only the best mechanization in assisted collection of oil palm bunches.
  • Which is the best mechanization in assisted collection of oil palm bunches?
  • For the traditional and method, wheelbarrow is only the best mechanization in assisted collection of oil palm bunches. It is because wheelbarrow can pass through all types of road surface, the gradient of slope, and type of soil. Wheelbarrow is a machine that is easy to work with and does not give pollution to environment.
  • How can we improve the productivity of oil palms?
  • Increase mechanisation - increase productivity per worker. Machines and implements should match terrain conditions, land size, management preferences and economic returns. Direct adoption of machines for other crops - failed to meet requirements unique to the oil palm.
  • What are the main operations in oil palm plantation management?
  • Harvesting and transportation are the most crucial operations in the management of any crop plantation. Mostly in the oil palm plantation, these mechanization activities represent about 60% of the total work operation and account for 15% of the fruit production cost (Henson, 2012, Mansor, 1993).
