The initiative promises farmers a range of benefits, including access to high-quality hybrid seedlings that are crucial for robust crop growth and higher yields.
The government is also extending assistance in land preparation and irrigation, ensuring that farmers have the necessary resources to create optimal conditions for oil palm cultivation.
To further ease the transition to modern farming practices, subsidised harvesting tools will be provided, reducing the financial burden on the agricultural community.
In addition to these measures, the scheme offers assured procurement and price support, which aims to secure fair market prices for the harvested produce.
