Jai Dee Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Surat Thani shows potential to be oil palm production hub The southern province of Surat Thani has great potential to be oil palm production hub. Jumpol Laikosit (จุมพล ไลยโฆษิต), chairman of Surat Thani Chamber of Commerce, said the province still has plenty of land for expansion of oil palm plantations. It also has a deep sea port which facilitates transports of the crop to other areas of the country. Li Chong Thai, manager of Thaksin Palm (1971) Co. Ltd. urged the government to promote oil palm planting in Surat Thani. He said the province should be developed into a palm city because it also has an oil palm research centre. Oil palm is largely needed for the production of bio-diesel.

timber Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Sounds good. Surat Thani has the port and rail. Lots of opportunity for oil palm production. They have a research facility? I would hope that they would share what they know with the rest of us. I see some pretty poor practices north of Sarat Thani. I think they need some outward bound ag. techs. to pass on the message. With the price of rubber there has to be an incentive to plant oil palm. Where can you find the price palm oil fruit is selling for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
