Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) Stock Photography

Empty fruit bunches (EFB) of oil palm are the residual parts of the fresh fruit bunches after the oil palm fruits have been harvested. EFBs are typically brown in color and have a coarse texture. In the industry, EFBs are often regarded as waste, but they actually hold significant potential for various uses, such as raw material for compost, a source of biomass energy, and as mulch to retain soil moisture and control weeds. Optimal utilization of EFBs can help reduce waste in the oil palm industry and support sustainable agricultural practices.
