dc.descriptionThe decline in the price of cocoa in recent years has led increasing numbers of cocoa holdings in Sabah to undertake consolidation and rehabilitation programmes with the objective of increasing productivity per unit area by replacing unproductive plants with productive, good quality ones. Significant yield improvement from 1 to3 t/ha has been achieved in some holdings, however, extent of yield improvement depends on how the rehabilitation programme is carried out and managed. The technical and management factors of importance in the rehabilitation programme are described. These include selection of suitable planting materials, grafting techniques, pre- and post-grafting treatments and in-filling of vacant points. A field mapping (tagging) and census system is considered essential to ensure proper implementation of the rehabilitation programme to attain sustainable high yields.
