Farmer Survey

The objective of this questionnaire is to understand the gaps in farmer’s knowledge in growing oil palm, the trainings they have received and medium of training that would be use useful to them. Thereafter, using the results we would be able to identify the medium and area of training that these farmers would benefit most from.

Questions are based off of the information compiled by Akvo, SNV and Lotte Woittiez at https://akvopedia.org. They cover 5 key themes: planting material; harvesting, grading, transport; plantation maintenance; fertilizer application; and pests and diseases.
