Tekam - Oil Palm Plantation

Enroute to the Cameron Highlands we had an organised visit to a plantation - a large company with housing and facilities for their workers - mainly from Bangladesh and Indonesia. We took a walk to see the grounds - which had many fruit trees including Durian, Rambutan, Cocoa and Cinnamon. We also learned about the Oil Palm tree and how the fruit is harvested. And how rats and snakes were controlled using owls. Quite unsustainable in terms of wateruse.Meer informatie
