mill piling up the EFB for fermentation. After being store for 120days, the fermented EFB will send back to oil palm estate
as organic fertilizer.
EFB Fibre can be used as mulching material for land, to retain moisture and to provide nutrient as
they decay.
EFB Fibre contain high carbon, which can be use as a clean component to produce composted organic fertilizer.
Fiber
extracted from EFB, can be processed into mat form for soil erosion control, and as filler for reinforce composite.
