Why Does Your Company Need Bio-Production Resource Management (BPRM)?

Your plantings assets are the factories of your business and achieving a superior production efficiency across your group of estates is critical to success. A reliable, efficient Bio-Production Resource Management (BPRM) solution makes it easy to attain best-in-class production yields, reduce Cost-Of-Production, gives executives the necessary resources to maximize their organization, and empowers companies with what they need to tackle fundamental production and agribusiness problems:

The Cost of UnderPerforming Plantings

• Most Oil Palm companies don’t achieve their planting potential often under-yielding by 2-4 TonFBB/Ha/Yr.
• It costs more than 5 times as much to correct field production deficiencies than it does to keep a current production levels peak levels; rehabilitation costs more.
• Most companies lose more than 10% of their yields due to variations in the field management and practices per year;
• Cutting yield opportunity revenue losses in half can increase profits by more than 60-80% on an annual basis.

The Lack of Production Understanding

• Many companies have no way to determine how,when and where to prioritize their field inputs and efforts;
• Even in the same plantings, same estate and same division, blk to blk yield variations can be anywhere between 1/2 – 2 TonFFB/Ha/Yr;
• Fertilizer programs and practices frequently lose 30% efficiency due to leaching evaporation, washouts and agro-biological barriers .

The Inefficiency

• Organizations don't correct the nutritional deficiencies because the managers do not know how much they are losing, scarce funds are always in demand by other projects and company needs, Oil Palm trees do not complain, and also because it is easy to blame the weather on production shortfalls.
• Organizations have no confidence in their decisions because they cannot measure, nor quantify the corelations of field inputs and outputs when biological systems of Oil Palm are involved.
• Organizations don't leverage existing resources and waste time, energy and money recreating, and often just ignore the problem.

The Ineffective Organization

• Companies do not have the ability to understand what is happening to their production yields, variations and shortfalls, gaps in their estates organization and how to impact positive change;
• Companies can't prioritize the most pressing issues and best decide where to focus their funds, labor, time and energy.

The Impact from Commodity (CPO) Prices

• Low CPO prices and Cost-of-Production pressures have reduced margins to levels which are causing ASEAN agribusiness considerable pain. The margin for error in production is now very tight and small.
• Companies which start to cut-back fertilizer programs to preserve cash-flow, will be subjected to the double disaster of depressing yields even more, and correspondingly revenue and income.
