Intercropping cocoa and oil palm: Eleven years of trial results
This paper reports further results of an earlier reported trial on the performance of intercropped cocoa and oil palm. At the end of eleven years, the treatment with single row oil palm interplanted with three rows of cocoa emerged as the most promising of the intercrop treatments. The treatment produced 88% of the monocrop oil palm yield and 55% of the monocrop cocoa yield. In a simple cost-benefit analysis, this treatment was also shown to produce steady incomes at fluctuating prices of oil palm and cocoa.
