A note on the seasonal and related variabilities of the palm oil production in West Malaysia

CHOW Chee Sing

The yield of oil palm is known to vary, among other variabilities, with a fairly regular 12-month cycle. Most of the observations on the seasonal variation were based on particular fields. It is perhaps still not well-known to what extent such systematic variations in the yield of oil palm are consistent over the whole peninsular. This article investigates on the seasonal variability of the palm oil production in West Malaysia by estimating the seasonal indices.
