Caption

Advances made over the last two years in oil palm genetics have the effect of significantly raising yields, providing an incentive for growers to plant 'smarter' rather than more extensively to obtain a given quantity of product. Here, a line in the forest, in Borneo, showing where the rainforest (left side) gives way to oil palm plantings (right).
