Some of the problems faced by the Malaysian palm oil production are:
a. Higher production cost
b. Infertile land
c. Shortage of workforce
d. Environmental pollution
e. Lack of waste treatment technology

BUT...

By using EM Technology, the following can be achieved:
a. Improved quality and yield
b. Reduction of fertiliser through waste management
c. Soil condition will be enhanced using organic fertiliser
d. Mechanisation of liquid organic fertiliser application
e. POME (Palm Oil Mill Effluent) will be properly treated and can become liquid organic fertiliser
f. EFB (Empty Fruit Bunch) can also become organic fertiliser
