Germinated oil palm seed is the first link in the palm oil supply chain: this is where the oil palm where the oil palm seeds are produced at the seed production unit before sending to the nursery. The LCA of oil palm seeds is a cradle-to-gate analysis. The starting point is the transportation of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) from the mother palm to the seed production unit and the end point is the germinated seeds ready for distribution to nurseries. MPOB offers LCA consulting services to the oil palm industry in various stages of the supply chain, from seed production to the production and use of palm biodiesel.
