    World agricultural production in numbers 🚜🌎 DID YOU KNOW❓ 🌾 Agricultural land is mostly dominated by cereals, with the production area of wheat, maize and rice cultivated on about 200 million ha globally each. 🚜 World agricultural land area is approximately five billion hectares (38 percent of the total land surface). 🐄 About one-third of this land is used as cropland, while the remaining two-thirds consist of meadows and pastures) for grazing livestock. 🌳 Within cropland, about 10 percent of the area is utilized for permanent crops, such as fruit trees, oil palm plantations and cocoa plantations. 👨🌾 Only around 2% of the world's agricultural land is farmed organically (practised in 191 countries with ca. 76 million ha in total).

    TOPP has now executed essential upgrades to the mill and laboratory so that milling capacity is no longer a constraint. Now the opportunity to increase fruit bunch production and quality will lead to increased oil production for the #unilever supply chain. Exciting prospects for TOPP over the coming months and years! Thank you for a very interesting and productive visit!

    You might find our handbook for smallholders would be useful at such a training event? It’s available in English, Bahasa Indonesia, French and Spanish at www.tropcropshop.com

    Last month, we concluded Farmer Field School training for 101 smallholders in the Ketapang region of West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Conducted over 3 months from September to December 2023 by our partner, Widya Erti Indonesia, the program was well received and appreciated. For the farmers from the villages of Semandang Kanan, Randau, Istana, and Sandai, this was the first time such a program was offered. The program educated them on the importance of No Deforestation, No Peat and No Exploitation (NDPE), financial literacy, RSPO guidelines, and gender equality. There were also several women smallholders in the program, who seized the opportunity to learn and were eager to apply the knowledge gained on their respective plantations. At the graduation ceremony, Vinodharan Nair Ramakrishnan, General Manager of PT Batu Mas Sejahtera, expressed our focus on capacity building to ensure that farmers in the region are equipped with agricultural knowledge that goes beyond just knowing how to plant oil palm. Our Farmer Field School, founded in 2019, is a capacity-building program designed based on smallholder needs analysis. It has benefited 269 independent smallholders from Central and East Kalimantan in its inaugural program. The program resumed in 2022 after the pandemic, when 97 farmers from Central Kalimantan completed the program. We are glad that so far, 467 smallholders have benefited from Goodhope’s Farmer Field School, and we hope to be able to support more in the future.

    We are excited to announce that TCCL will be holding a workshop on Yield Intensification in Oil Palm.  Over the past 15 years, through intensive fieldwork in Latin America, SE Asia and West Africa, TCCL has developed practical and proven techniques for yield improvement that have proved effective even in areas with challenging soil and climate conditions. We want to share our expertise with experienced agronomists and review all aspects of yield intensification. The workshop will be held in Wye, Kent, UK from Monday 27 May to Friday 31 May 2024 with 11 internationally reputed speakers and 16 lectures on all aspects of oil palm growing over four days and a one day excursion to visit the laboratory and long-term experiments at Rothamsted UK and the renowned Palm House at Kew Gardens. All participants will receive a complementary set of TCCL oil palm handbooks as well as printed copies of all the lecture presentations and there will be opportunities for active participant participation in practical agronomy exercises. During the course of the workshop we expect participants will network with other participants from other ‘oil palm countries' in Southeast Asia, Central and South America, and West Africa so that they can stay in touch with the workshop group after the workshop. I have attached a flyer that provides information on the workshop and an email address to respond to this message. #oilpalm #palmoil #sustainablepalmoil
