The updated oil palm handbooks, authored by Thomas Fairhurst, William Griffiths and Ian Rankine and to be published in 2017, will now include information on South and Central America, Africa, as well as South East Asia. We have written them because we realise there have been significant developments in technology and techniques since the books were first published in 1998.
