Oil palms have a long history of human use. The oil contains a high level of saturated fats and can withstand the heat of extreme deep-frying and resists oxidation. It contains no trans fat, and the by-products from its production can be used as fuel. Soon after SALCRA came into operation in 1976, the Agency started its first oil palm plantation project – namely, the Lubok Antu Oil Palm Project. Oil palm plantations have remained SALCRA’s main activity, and it was through that which Sarawak’s rural communities were transformed into integrated land development programmes.
SALCRA’s development centres are currently located in 5 divisions, which are Kuching, Samarahan, Serian, Sri Aman, and Betong. The plantation projects are represented by 19 oil palm estates, covering an area of 53,397 hectares, stretching from Lundu District in the west, to Roban in the east. These are administratively divided in 4 regions, which are: Bau-Lundu, Serian, Sri Aman, and Saratok. Each of these regions is headed by an appointed Area Manager.

Major pests in oil palm plantations in Malaysia are rats, bagworms, nettle caterpillars, rhinoceros beetle, bunch moth and termite whilst the diseases of consequence are the Ganoderma basal stem rot and, to a lesser extent, Marasmius bunch rot.

Insecticides will remain the main weapon against insect pests, but an integrated approach is given increasing importance. This approach involves regular monitoring, good agronomic practices, conservation, supplementation and utilisation of natural control agents, and the judicious use of chemicals.
Chemicals with a broad-spectrum of activity, long and persistent residues, and high mammalian toxicity will continue to be replaced by safer and more target-specific products that are also safer to the environment.
