Total oil can reach 5.4–6.1 tonnes/hectare
Process Material Balance (10 tonnes FFB, modern mill)
CPO: 1.9–2.2 tonnes
Palm kernels: 0.48–0.55 tonnes
EFB (Empty Fruit Bunches): approx. 6.5–7 tonnes (can be used for fuel or organic fertilizer)

1 hectare = 15 mu; approx. 9–10 oil palm trees per mu.
Standard Malaysian plantation: FFB 16–18 tonnes, CPO 3.2–3.7 tonnes/year
High-yield Indonesian plantation: FFB 22–30 tonnes, CPO 4.8–5.4 tonnes/year
Oil palm: 1 hectare ≈ 143 trees; 9–10 trees per mu.
The 16-20% yield refers to crude palm oil from the pressing stage. For downstream processing, Huatai offers complete refining and fractionation solutions to produce premium finished oil. Refining includes degumming, bleaching, and deodorization for RBD palm oil. Fractionation separates palm olein (liquid cooking oil) from palm stearin (solid fats) to maximize product value. Kernel recovery processes palm kernels into high-value palm kernel oil.
