  • Can ‘best management practices’ increase oil palm yield in Ghana?
  • The area under oil palm in Ghana has expanded but average fruit bunch yields remained low, resulting in large yield gaps. This study assessed the potential for increasing yield with ‘Best Management Practices (BMP)’ on plantations and smallholder farms in southern Ghana, compared with current standard practices, i.e. reference (REF) yield.
  • Is the BMP process applicable to the Ghanaian oil palm industry?
  • Significant yield improvements were achieved at sites representative of the Ghanaian oil palm industry, thus proving the applicability of the BMP process, which has also been successfully implemented in Southeast Asia and Latin America.
  • How important is the oil palm industry in Ghana?
  • The oil palm industry in Ghana has evolved over the last five decades to become the second most important industry in the agricultural sector after cocoa.It is estimated that oil palm contribution to Ghana’s GDP is about 1% and it employs about 0.6 million households which translates to about 3 million people along the oil palm value chain.
  • Can best management practices increase yields on neglected oil palm fields?
  • Conclusions Best Management Practices (BMP) offer immense potential to increase yields on mature plantings at plantations and smallholder farms in Ghana. As such, implementing BMP’s on neglected oil palm fields is a step-wise process and should be implemented in the correct sequence in order to eliminate all agronomic stress effectively.
