Palm oil cultivation model, agronomic specificities, nutrient management & palm oil disease control shared at Palm Oil Africa on 05-06 September!

In Central/West Africa, oil palm Yield variability is wide . A combination of low yielding palm varieties, the absence of effective crop management, and high plant mortality during the planting phase, contributes to sub-optimal yields.
Oil Palm investors and crop research institutes are continuously studying modern high-yielding varieties developed by breeding programs, under ideal climatic conditions in Africa.

If you are an investor interested to develop palm oil plantations in Africa, the Palm Oil Africa is an ideal conference for you.

Because at this conference, key experts will deliver insight on the technical and scientific aspects of palm oil cultivation! More specifically, you'll hear Dr. YO Tiemoko, Director General of CNRA Cote d'Ivoire a presentation on disease management entitled 'Developments in Palm Oil Seed Resistant to Diseases : Case of CNRA of Cote d'Ivoire'. Other sessions on high yielding materials and crop improvement by relevant authorities include:

• PalmElit Breeding and Genetic Improvement in Response to the Specific Constraints in Africa for the Oil Palm (Drought and Vascular Wilt Disease)
  Michel Cazemajor. Breeder, PalmElit

• Wild Oil Palm Germplas Research & Crop Improvement in Ghana
  Dr George Okyere-Boateng Breeder, OPRI

• Nigeria -Developments in Oil Palm Varieties High Yielding Materials
  Dr Clement Ataga, NIFOR

• Agronomic Specificities in Africa and Yield Potential
  Dr Claude Jannot, Agronomist, CIRAD

Of course, the above is only a few of the sessions you'll benefit from at the 1.5 day conference. Besides the comprehensive presentations, this event will also serve as an excellent platform to meet and interact with the who's who of the agricultural sector. So ensure you're there too at Palm Oil Africa this September.
