Growing Cocoyam Under Mature Oil Palm in Malaysia | Farmer Podcast

While the plants might look huge and green, the actual tuber harvest is often much lower than expected.

We also share practical tips on pruning, choosing older palm blocks, and applying the right fertilizer to get the best results without harming your main oil palm yield.
