Zack, just Goggle "how to grow oil palm" - I found that there is a site called Fedepalma with lots of growing information. Interesting subject.

Hello, I live in Costa Rica, I can tell you some information about Palm Trees oil, the weather should be tropic wet and in Costa Rica the price of Ton is $140 each, here is a good business, because you no need to invest to much money in the maintenance. 100 hectares can produce 200 or more Ton per month. The good thing is the demand is very good in only last 6 months the price of Ton increase from $120 to $140.
