1.the first thing is land: if you can acquire a good flat and accessible land, though oil palm grow in almost all kind of land.
2.After acquiring land,then you think of the best variety of oil palm to plant. There are majorly three varieties, Tenera, Dura and Pisifera. i tell you tenera is the best, it has been found more profitable because of its high level of oil production and also for kernel.
how can you get this tenera seedlings:Not just getting any tenera seedlings but quality high breeds.
you can get it from us{iyakponfarm; iyakponfarm@gmail.com/07067671517}.we can also guide you on step to step processes to have a very productive oil palm plantation.
if you consider the cost of transportation of the seedlings to be a barrier, then you can get sprouted seeds from us and have your own nursery.
3.Spacing: spacing is as important as getting a good variety. your spacing must b adequate enough not to affect the yield, if the palms are too crowded it will affect the yield.
we have two methods of spacing, the straight line method and the stargging method. in what ever method you are using it must not be less than 7m, it is recommended you use 9m btw and within each palm. <

Do ring weeding round the palm, ie at the base of the palm, clear to the ground 2m round the palm, that will help you during fertilizer application and also prevent grasscutter which is the major pest of palm.
After three months of planting apply NPK round the palm
