EPP 2
Lack of exposure to best practices and the insufficient economies of
scale amongst smallholders have led to lower yield in comparison
with organised smallholders and plantation companies. In order to
improve the national average of FFB yield, MPOB targets to group
the 161,000 independent smallholders nationwide into regional
cooperatives to enable the Tunjuk, Ajar dan Nasihat (TUNAS)
officers to provide more focussed and specialised advisory and
extension services.
Coupled with the successful replanting programme under
EPP 1 and the consolidation of independent smallholders into
cooperative schemes, the national average yield is expected to
increase to 26.2 tonnes per hectare per annum in 2020.
Achievements
In 2011, the MPOB has hired and deployed an additional 100
TUNAS officers throughout the country to provide advisory
services to the plantations, particularly to independent
smallholders with low yielding areas. In total, there are 307
MPOB officers nationwide under this EPP.

Besides providing advisory services, the TUNAS officers are
tasked to group independent smallholders into cooperatives,
tapping into the benefits of scale operations and efficiencies.
To date, a total of 15 cooperatives (four in 2010, 11 in 2011) have
been formed by MPOB. They cover a total area of approximately
135,000 hectares of land owned by 30,444 smallholders in various
states including Perak, Selangor, Malacca, Johor, Pahang, Sabah
and Sarawak.
The national fresh fruit bunch yield is expected to grow,
reversing consecutive drops in yield in 2009 and 2010. This can
be attributed to the successes of the key initiatives under both
EPP 1 and 2.
