Oil palm looks grand with gold fruits ,massive in size with a black tough exterior.
I was amazed at the sight of an oil palm plantation.
Malaysia is puncuated by dense palm trees.
The vast stretches pose an awesome view.
Oil palm is Malaysia’s cash crop.
The trees are harvestd every fortnight.
Hauling of fruits is done methodically.
I watched the process in rapt attention.
The Indonesian squad is deft and skilful in hauling the fruits,,
The gathering of fruits and loading them provide a feast to the eyes.
Oil palm plantation requires lesser workforce, lesser care ,than rubber.
Fresh fruit bunches ‘ price rose to 817 RM /Tonne during mid march.
True to the word Black Gold is as valuable as yellow gold.
