Resumen

This Law establishes the Oil Palm Development Agency to enhance the production and development of the State's signature agricultural production, the oil palm. The Law also creates a board for the agency and states the composition of the board. The board carries out the functions of the agency, which includes assisting persons, communities, co-operative societies or other organized groups in establishing or expanding their oil palm plantations; educating farmers on the necessity to plant or grow the improved variety palm seedlings and actively encourage the planting or growing of such plantations in every Local Government Area in the State; encouraging and assisting small-holders to resuscitate or regenerate dormant, disused or abandoned palm plantations and carry out the supervision of the maintenance and arrangement of palm plantations including resuscitated or regenerated palm plantations; amongst several other functions. Aside from running the daily affairs of the Agency, the Law also empowers the Board to make necessary regulations and other subsidiary legislations.
