The fresh fruit bunch (FFB) middlemen sub-sector is part of Malaysia palm oil supply chain. It is interrelated with other sub sectors either directly or indirectly. It serves as a intermediary between the smallholder and the millers. Middleman need to be efficient so that the FFB sent to the mills within 24 hours after harvesting remain in good quality. As the private middlemen, they always take advantage toward the oil palm farmers. Some fanners prefer to sell to private middlemen due to several factors such as transportation, storage and the middlemen offer them higher price than the market price. While smallholder still prefer to selling their oil palm fruit to PPK as them offer not so high price and they provide efficient storage, trustworthy and also incentive.
