The aim of this investigation is to make clear differences between the oil palm production of West Africa and that of South-East Asia. In the most case, the oil palm is cultivated in West Africa by the peasant-type cultivation, while in South-East Asia, by the plantation system. From this fact, it may be considered that the quality of oil and kernel produced in South-East Asia is better than that of West Africa. Nevertheless, the oil palm trees cultivated in South-East Asia being older than those of West Africa, they must be replaced by new ones and fertilized efficiently.
