For the purpose of crop diversification and food production, a study has been carried out to determine the feasibility of growing peach palm (Bactris gasipaes Kunth) for palm heart production. A total of 160 peach palm seedlings were planted at density 1 111 plants per hectare. Harvesting was done by choosing those stems that have attained either a height of 1.5 m or a diameter of 15 to 17 cm. Germination of peach palm seeds commenced at 37 days after sowing and is completed at about 90 days after sowing. About 13 per cent of palms reached harvesting size at one year after field planting. Percentage of palms in production increased gradually and reached up to 98 per cent at about 48 months after field planting. Average weight of edible palm heart obtained from one stem is 1066.68 g. Each harvested offshoot contained 6.31 kg biomass which could recycle to farm. Average number of offshoots harvested from a plant at years two, three, four and five were 0.74, 1.93, 2.58 and 3.98 stems per plant respectively. Peach palm yields of edible heart were 0.72 tonnes per hectare at second year from planting, 2.78 tonnes per hectare at third year, 3.53 tonnes per hectare at fourth year and 3.90 tonnes per hectare at fifth year of planting. However, it was estimated that 5.18, 13.5, 18.08 and 27.9 tonnes per hectare biomass respectively were produced for recycling to the farm at the second, third, fourth and fifth years after planting. The sugar content was low on the edible leaf but increased gradually towards the lower part of the edible stem. Cost of edible palm heart production under this trial condition was estimated at RM2.16 per kg. This required a total of RM8 759 per hectare for the first year establishment. Break even cost was at three-and-a-half years after planting, assuming a planting density of 1 111 plants per hectare and a price of RM3 000 per tonne edible heart. This included the profit margin which take into consideration the total cost of production and price of the product. Peach palm has been observed to grow vigorously under Sabah condition. It is feasible to plant and the hearts are well accepted by people. Keywords: Peach palm, Bactris gasipaes Kunth, palm heart, production.
