Above figures tell us Palm Oil Companies are having their Best Growth Years like never before since their bull run years of 2008 & 2012 when Cpo prices were Rm3000 to Rm3500 a ton. After that Cpo crashed to the low of Rm1,700 a metric tom.  Today Cpo prices are Rm3,600 to Rm4,200

In those days One Hectare can produce 8 to 10 tonnes FFB. Today with New Improved Seedlings One Hectare can produce up to 18.5 tonnes of FFB (Fresh Fruit Bunches)

In light of historic past performance ALL PALM OIL COMPANIES Should be Rerated Upward.

Five years on, the tide has now turned

​

FIVE years have passed since we first visited Rumah Morgan.

Lots of things have happened during the past five years, from the unexpected change of federal government and the subsequent political turmoil, to the sweeping pandemic that compelled lockdowns across the globe.

Indeed, the period has not been kind for many of us around the world, but behind every dark cloud, there is a silver lining and for the residents of Rumah Morgan, that silver lining has been the rising price of palm oil.

Boon for smallholder planters

After dipping to a 10-year annual average low of US$601 per tonne in 2019, palm oil prices have been steadily increasing, reaching a new high of US$1,776.96 per tonne in March 2022 before settling to the new annual average high of US$1,276 per tonne for that year.

Such growth has been largely driven by rising demands for biodiesel associated with the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, which broke out in early 2022, and most recently, the Middle East conflicts that began in October 2023.

Having somewhat normalised in 2023 with analysts estimating that the 2023 annual average price would settle at US$980 per tonne, palm oil prices are still looking robust with expectations of them breaching the US$1,000-per tonne mark in 2024 and beyond, due to sustained global biodiesel demand and lower growths in other edible oils caused by extreme weather conditions.

Revitalised community’

On our second visit to Rumah Morgan, we again received a warm welcome from the chieftain TR Morgan Sanda and his committee, but this time, we could see a revitalised community.

We were excited to learn that the village finally had piped water installed.

​

Jennifer says a substantial part of the earnings is reinvested into the plantation in the forms of maintenance works, replanting and settling the instalment payments for various equipment and machinery.

The previous transport issues had been addressed, thanks to the improved earnings from palm oil. Now, the majority of villagers have their own vehicles, with the Hilux pick-up truck being the preferred brand for many.

Now, the majority of villagers in Beluru have their own vehicles, with the Hilux pick-up truck being the preferred brand for many – signifying the encouraging growth that derives from oil palm plantation.

The population had also grown, but TR Morgan said it was not like it was in the olden days.

“Nowadays, it seems that each household is opting for only two or three children,” he told thesundaypost recently.

‘Helping out’

After a brief tour, we were introduced to a fresh face of the community, Paul Ngadan.

Now in his 30s, he studied at and graduated from SMK Baru in Miri and the National Youth Skills Institute (IKBN) Kuching, years before joining the offshore oil and gas (O&G) industry, where he stayed on for over a decade.

We were rather surprised to see an educated and talented individual such as Paul at Rumah Morgan as the majority of the younger generation from many rural communities would often opt for relocation to the more urban areas seeking better economic opportunities.

Moreover, we were curious as to why he, having been born and raised in urban Miri and worked in a rather ‘well-paying’ sector, would choose to settle in rural Beluru instead.

Recounting his story, Paul said he first met his wife, Jennifer Jarau, back during his IKBN Kuching days where she was also a student. The couple got married in 2009.

Jennifer’s family is among the members of the Rumah Morgan community who are active oil palm planters, tending to around 2,000 trees.

They established their small plantation in 2008 after having secured a plot under the Malaysia Palm Oil Board (MPOB)’s smallholder plantation programme.

Over the years, Jennifer’s family and many other smallholders in the area have experienced some ups and downs, but in recent years following the recovery in palm oil prices, they have also benefitted from the boom.
