Correlation analyses of meteorological data collected between 1953 and 1969 and yields of 49 hybrids in Benin, Nigeria were made. Annual relative humidity (RH), annual rainfall (RA) and sunshine hours (SH) had the greatest influence on fresh fruit bunch yield (FFB) in the oil palms studied. Annual mean temperature (T) and RA had the greatest direct effects on mean bunch weight (MBW). The 6 climatic factors accounted for 54 %, 69 % and 52 % of total variation in FFB, number of bunches (NB) and MBW, indicating that other factors also influence these yield factors in the oil palm. NB was the most important yield component for predicting FFB.
