TT No. 58: Soil Stabilizer for Plantation Roads

Plantation roads provide the means of transporting fresh fruit bunches (FFB) to the mill and, bringing and sending fertilizer to the site as well as other field activities. Any slack in preparing or building the roads will effect the delivery time of farm products as well as the being in the farm needs. Plantation roads are soil roads. Soil roads can be relatively cheap to build when compared with other alternative materials. Without regular maintenance and resurfacing, these roads have a limited useful life. Weather conditions make them impassable and poor road surface creates damages to vehicle. There are instances where farm and plantation produce is not delivered to market due to poor roads.
