Quantitative analysis reveals El Nino significantly impacts oil palm production and average fruit bunch weight.
The El Nino phenomenon has an influence on the production of oil palm plants at PT Perkebunan Nusantara I Regional 7, Bandar Lampung, Lampung. What is the impact on oil palm production due to the El Nino phenomenon? What is the impact of the El Nino phenomenon on the average fruit bunch weight of oil palm fruit bunches? To understand the impact on oil palm production and the average fruit weight of oil palm fruit caused by the El Nino phenomenon. The design of this research is quantitative, using the parametric statistical test method Independent Sample T Test analysis with a confidence level of 95%, the data used is data on oil palm plant productivity, average bushel weight, rainfall and total bunches from 2012 to 2022.The results of the analysis, after carrying out the Independent Sample T Test analysis, showed that El Nino had an effect on the productivity of oil palm plants with a significance value of 0.009. El Nino also had an effect on the average bushel weight, a significance result of 0.00 was obtained. EL Nino has an effect on total oil palm bunches, based on Independent Sample T Test analysis, a significance of 0.00 was obtained. Because the Sig value is 0.05, H0 is rejected, with a confidence level of 95% indicating that there is a correlation between oil palm production results and the El Nino phenomenon. El Nino also influences rainfall which fluctuates during a prolonged dry season.
