Oil Palm Resource Information System (OPRIS)
Malaysia
The Oil Palm Resource Information System (OPRIS) is a precision agriculture based digital solution developed by the Malaysian Palm Oil Board’s (MPOB) Biology and Sustainability Research Division (BSRD). It's a GIS technology based solution which supports MPOB by mapping the location of Sustainable Palm Oil Clusters (SPOC) and Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) Certification areas. OPRIS helps researchers identify the soil types, agro-climatic factors, and even potential suitable plantation areas. Most importantly, it helps monitor incidents of pests and disease infestations – disasters that could spell significant losses in production and revenue.
