Anbautipps

Harvest every 10-15 days when fruit bunches turn orange-red — overripe bunches increase free fatty acid and reduce oil quality

Plant leguminous cover crops (Pueraria, Mucuna) between rows to fix nitrogen and suppress weeds

RSPO certification is increasingly required for market access — plan sustainability practices from planting
