Abstract. This research was to determine the effect of pieces sizes of oil palm empty fruit bunch
(EFB) on the composting of EFB mixed with activated liquid organic fertilizer (ALOF) in a
basket composter in order to obtain high quality compost. The composting process was started
by cutting the EFB into pieces with varies sizes, inserting the EFB pieces into basket composter
(33 cm W × 28 cm L × 40 cm H), and adding ALOF until moisture content (MC) in the range of
55-65%. During composting, the compost pile was turned every 3 days and the MC was
maintained at 55-65% range by adding the ALOF. The sizes of the EFB pieces were varied into
