With the incorporation of the Yangambi gene through the paternal lineage our planting material is vigorous and harvesting of fruits can commence 24 months after planting as opposed to the conventional 30-36 months.

Our planting material can produce a high yield of 16 tons/ha in the first year, subsequently increasing to 35-38 tons/ha in the 5th year of harvesting. Many of our trees have 40 kg bunches yielding over 300 kg per palm/year.

Our 18 year old palm has a trunk height of 4.0 m as compared to 12.0 m for a 25 year old palm from other seed producers. Height increment can measure as low as 25 cm per year which is less than half of that from normal plantings.
