PRESS RELEASE

 

ARAB Releases 5 Year Key Findings & Achievements of the PAXSYS Bio-Production Resource Management System over 150,000 Ha of Oil Palm Plantings across the ASEAN region – Avg 4 TonsFFB/Ha/Yr Yield Growth and 17% drop in Cost-of-Production over the previous achievable production levels.

- PAXSYS End-Results surfaces key shortcomings in the Industry production management practices and offers conclusive evidence of the Value Proposition of Bio-Production Resource Management Solutions

KAJANG, P. MALAYSIA (November 17, 2002) – ARAB Sdn Bhd , pioneer and leader of Bio-Production Resource Management (BPRM) technology, today released the Key Findings and Achievements of its PAXSYS™ technology innovation for CPO Producers.

 

The Key-Achievements of PAXSYS is the average 4 TonsFFB/Ha/Yr Yield increase over the highest previous achievable levels, over a 150,000Ha area of Oil Palm plantings in the ASEAN region. Accompanied by an effective 17% drop in the Field Cost-of-Production across the board.  “We could achieve these end-results because PAXSYS allows us to monitor the key internal bio-metrics and bio-conversion rates of the palms, identify and isolate the key internal bio-barriers, and thereby improve the biomass conversion process for FFB production” declares Amit Guha – MD, ARAB.

 

“Unfortunately, the technical process that most Producers practice today has  some key gaps – the technical teams of the Producer essentially have near zero visibility into the internal bio-process functions and metrics as they focus only on the physical aspects of measurement and  results. Thus the production management process essentially is reduced to trial-and-error using some technical standards and practices that were published many years ago.”, says Guha.

 

“The details of the 5-Year-Results of BPRM (PAXSYS) are published on ARAB’s website – www.arabis.org. Readers can access these details to discover the true Key Gaps of FFB Production that plague CPO Producers on a continuous basis, and the Key-Results that were achieved. “ adds Jay Guha – Marketing Dir, ARAB. “Producers who have been suffering from marginal yield levels, and higher-than-desired Cost-of-Production, would do well to investigate the BPRM approach and discover how they too can benefit, as have the PAXSYS early adopters clients”.

 

“Over the last few years, we have refined the PAXSYS solution and ensured that it fits and augments the technical and production teams of the CPO Producer” says Guha. The solution’s key advantages is that it is End-Results Guaranteed, Scales from 1000Ha to 250,000Ha with total Reliability, takes 1 month to deploy, and has zero risk (financial or technical).

 

“Our focus is now to continue delivering hard business results for our clients, and work with Producers who have the vision and commitment to increase the field production performance, and who are looking to acquire that production competitive advantage”, mentions Jay Guha.  “The Oil Palm producer has many threats in its operating business environment, most of which happens in overseas buyer markets and is hard to influence – the need to increase production efficiency on a consistent basis is that much more critical nowadays.”
