1.7.4 Calculation of the Number of Production Units (N) to Sample for the Mill

N = 0.8√y, where y is the number of units, with the result always to be rounded UP to the next whole integer. Where only a sample of the supply base is assessed, units not previously assessed, or assessed earlier in the certification program, are to be preferred over those more recently assessed.

For the Mill, how many units make up the production base?

Owned estates (Y) N = 0.8√Y Smallholders (Z) N = 0.8√Z

3 - 2 (Estate II and VI) - Kas Desa is fully

managed by the estate

1 Scheme Smallholders (KKPA) supply FFB to Batang Kulim POM

1 (18 smallholders)

Explanation as to the selection of estates sampled

N = 0.8√Y, where “Y” is the number of units, with the result always to be rounded “up” to the next whole integer, where only a sample of the supply base is assessed. There are 3 estates and 1 Scheme smallholder (KKPA) which supply FFB to Batang Kulim – POM PT. Musim Mas. The number of sample for estates according the formula which mention above is 2 samples in estate and 1 sample Scheme Smallholder (KKPA).

1.8 Progress of associated Smallholders or Outgrowers towards Compliance with relevant Standards - should be in accordance to the 3 year implementation plan

The Scheme Smallholders Cooperative (KKPA) Merbau Sakti and Kas Desa (Village Oil Palm development projects) were certified in March 2011.
