OMP Plantation (or OMP-AMIS) is an agricultural management information system that covers all important aspects relating to the agronomic performance of oil palm plantations. The growing need for agronomic databases and computerized analysis and management tools is a result of two separate trends in the recent development of the oil palm industry. On the one hand, enormous expansions in planted area have led to a shortage of experienced management and agronomy staff, and oil palm field managers are now regularly placed in charge of larger plantation areas and more worker staff than ever before. On the other hand, increased demand for vegetable oil combined with consumer pressure for ecologically sustainable production mean that managers are required to pursue yield intensification with a maximum input efficiency. Meeting these twin challenges and implementing precision agriculture and best management practices over large, commercially relevant areas is near impossible without powerful decision support software like OMP Plantation.
