In 2019, the average FFB price at 1% OER is MYR 21.17. With 19.9 million tonnes of CPO produced in a year, every 0.1% of OER counts! Optimization of the FFB supply chain is key in improving the OER performance. This will require collaborations across all stakeholders involved to strive towards quality excellence.
In the case of FFB supply, maximizing the output from mature palm tree entails that proper plantation management and quality harvesting takes place. Quality harvesting requires strict control of incentives, which can only happen with immediate feedback from the mills to ensure immediate corrective actions take place.
With the volume involved in the supply chain, only machines can effectively execute the process. Hence, we’ve developed an Automated FFB Grading System to kick off the journey towards operational excellence.
