Chamaedorea elegans fruit falling off before ripening?

This is probably a hella stupid question so apologies in advance, but I have this large  Chamaedorea elegans that is constantly flowering and producing fruit, and it seems all hopeful as the fruit turn to a peachy color, but then immediately fall off premature. This plant is constantly always flowering year round, but I was wondering if issues with pollination could cause this, 

 

Pic below is the fruit a day before they all fell off

It’s not a silly question we all learn by asking questions your flowers are most likely not pollinated the picture is of ones that have been pollinated and will go black when ripe.

Chamaedorea are dioecious, i.e., male and female flowers on separate plants. If your palm has no male plant to pollinate it no viable seeds will be produced.

Your palm is a male plant. Female Ch elegans have much fewer flowers.
