Composting Area Or Empty Bunch Area On Palm Oil Mill Stock Image

Composting area is an important component in sustainable palm oil production. Composting is the process of decomposing organic materials, such as empty fruit bunches (EFBs), palm fronds, and palm trunks, into a nutrient-rich soil amendment that can be used to improve soil fertility and crop yields.In a palm oil mill, the composting area is typically located near the Empty Bunch Area (EBA), where EFBs and other organic materials are collected and stored. The composting area consists of a large space where these materials are piled up in layers and left to decompose over time.The composting process requires the right balance of moisture, temperature, and air flow to be effective. To achieve this, the compost pile must be regularly turned and aerated, and watered as needed to maintain a consistent level of moisture.
