Grow More, Sustainably with Netafim for Oil Palm

In many oil palm plantations across Southeast Asia, growers face increasing pressure from water scarcity and unpredictable rainfall. These challenges not only reduce yields but also make it harder to plan efficient farm operations and achieve consistent results.

To overcome these obstacles, more and more plantations are turning to precision drip irrigation. This solution delivers water and nutrients directly to the root zone, helping oil palm trees thrive even under tough climate conditions. With better control, reduced water use, and improved nutrient efficiency, drip irrigation is proving to be one of the most effective and sustainable ways to grow oil palm today.

Why Choose Drip Irrigation for Oil Palm?

  • Boost yields by 30% or more
    Drip irrigation delivers water and nutrients directly to the root zone, reducing plant stress and improving nutrient uptake—resulting in yield increases of at least 30% compared to traditional methods.
  • Save 30–50% of Water 
    Drip systems minimize evaporation, runoff, and overwatering, helping plantations save up to 50% of water while still achieving better yields and resource efficiency.
  • Reduce operating costs
    Automated dosing units and efficient water delivery reduce labor, fertilizer waste, and energy use—ensuring a more cost-effective operation and steady returns.
  • Improve crop quality and uniformity
    Precision monitoring and farm management tools optimize water and nutrient use, leading to more uniform crop development and higher-quality harvests across the field.
  • Meet the market demand faster
    Support vital growth stages like flowering, pollination, and fruit development with timely irrigation—accelerating productivity and helping you meet global palm oil demand.
  • Deliver precise irrigation and nutrients
    Fertigation through the drip system ensures the plant receives an accurate mix of soluble nutrients—such as phosphates, potassium, and microelements—exactly when and where it's needed for optimal growth.
