The fruits should not be left in the palm tree for a long time after they have matured. Rather, it is better to collect them within a period not exceeding 9 days to prevent any loss. The entire crop does not mature at one time, but rather it matures over a period of approximately 6 months. Thus, it is possible to obtain two crops per year, and a portion of the crop can be collected in each month of the year.
Following factors sustainability for production of palm.

3. Suitable environment”
The emphasis is on “sustainable.” Sustainable palm oil has been farmed, processed, distributed, and sold responsibly with strict rules that protect animals, the environment and people who live and work in oil palm producing countries. Understand their supply chain, requiring suppliers to have traceability to the palm oil mill and where necessary to monitor and manage environmental and social risk the plantation level. Large areas of tropical forests and other ecosystems with high conservation values have been cleared to make room for vast monoculture oil palm plantations. This clearing has destroyed critical habitat for many endangered species including rhinos, elephants and tigers. Exploring sustainable alternatives to palm oil in personal care products is crucial in reducing the environmental impact of our everyday choices. Shea butter, coconut oil, olive oil, babassu oil, and torula oil, are just a few of the viable options available
